Excerpt from The End of the Ages: With Forecasts of the Approaching, Political, Social and Religious Reconstruction of America and the World
The present volume is a record of thoughts and discoveries that have been accumulating during a period of more than thirty years. It is believed that the proper time for its publication has arrived, and that its philosophizings, monitions and warnings as well as its hopeful pictures of the near future will now be received as they could not have been during any anterior and less ripened condition of the minds of the world.
The author has no apology to make for the apparently pretentious title page which he has chosen. The book is intended to be all that the title implies; and whether, in this respect, it is a success or a failure, can only be judged after a careful and candid perusal. Many things new to all readers and some things not a little startling, will be found in these pages; but the accompanying rational and mathematical proofs of the positions taken, will, it is hoped, be sufficient to shield the author from every suspicion of aiming at mere sensation.
The volume is placed before a scrutinizing and candid public with much hope, little fear, and with an unbounded desire for the outworking of the great and beneficent uses for America and the world, an exposition of which will be found in its pages.
