Excerpt from Genesis of the Earth and of Man: Or the History of Creation, and the Antiquity and Races of Mankind, Considered on Biblical and Other Grounds
To the first edition of this work I prefixed a few prefatory remarks, in which I stated its character, but did not enter upon a consideration of the questions it discusses. Perhaps it was desirable that the first judgment formed of it should not be affected, favourably or unfavourably, by any arguments of the editor. This reason has now lost any weight it may have had; and I feel that I am bound to take this opportunity of giving a short review of the questions to which the work relates, and the manner in which the writer has treated them.
The subjects here discussed belong altogether to the ground between literature and natural science. They have in every case a literary and a scientific side.
