Excerpt from Creation; Or the Power Behind Evolution: Disclosing the Unity of Matter and Force

The book that is herewith placed in your hands "was not made but grew." It has come into its place as an unexpected visitant, to author as well as to reader, and the only apology for its appearance is that it could not be kept back because of an impulse in the mind of the author urging to self assertion.

The voice of truth coming to his own mind with unlooked for messages, and guiding his mind in new paths of thought, said "Write," and he has written. At first a single lecture was prepared, but this only served to make others necessary, and so the body of the work was written. This will account for the peculiar style of composition, for some repetitions of thoughts and of quotations from authors. As he pressed lines of thought into unexplored fields it seemed necessary that he should reach ultimates of thought by several different paths - that he should strive to make his positions fully understood by giving "line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little." Great care has been taken to allow advanced thinkers and experimenters in science to give expression to their latest discoveries, and it was desired that no important facts should be excluded from the list of experimental truths.
