The Origin of Creation
Or the Science of Matter and Force, a New System of Natural Philosophy
Description:... Excerpt from The Origin of Creation: Or the Science of Matter and Force, a New System of Natural Philosophy
Unknown to the world of Science we present ourselves as advocates of the vast undertaking which is, we expect, to revolutionize the whole theory of Natural Science taught and believed in at the present day, and to inaugurate a new system, based upon a natural law, the evidences of which we have discovered, and which we hereby show to be of necessity universal, and therefore capable of explaining all natural phenomena.
This system is not the development of a day, but has been in progress, in various ways, for many years, more particularly since the hidden meaning of Magnetism was discovered and applied by us.
The nucleus of the present work appeared some time ago in a weekly periodical, in the form of Essays on Natural Science; and the reception given them, along with the importance and admitted necessity for such a work, has induced us to issue the present volume.
The date upon which out theories have been built, have, in all the subjects touched upon, been based on personal observations in chemistry, telegraphy and marine diving; in an extensive experience in coal and gold mines: and also while voyaging and travelling along the Gulf Stream, the Calms of the Equator, the coasts of Brazil, California and Mexico, the Mediterranean, the Bay of Fundy, the Hot Sulphur Baths of Salt Lake, the Great Geysers of California, and the mangroves of the Isthmus of Panama.
