Excerpt from Bricks From Babel: A Brief View, Myths, Traditions and Religious, Belief of Races, Concise Studies in Ethnography
The following short studies in Ethnography were written chiefly in the British Museum. In an age when so much blatant doubt has assailed the statements of the Scripture on all topics in Science or Ancient History, it seemed a proper work to give a clear and concise view of the results reached by various learned ethnologists, philologists, and archaeologists, and to show that a consensus of the best learning and most patient research, ranges an ultimatum beside the monumental Tenth Chapter of Genesis. The stones in the wall have lately lifted up their voice against arrant unbelief. Every year, we could say every month, inscriptions are discovered and deciphered, in Egypt, Assyria, Asia Minor, each one confirmatory of the others, and of the Sacred Record. I have not desired to make this an elaborate or technical work. The abundant foot-notes from the best authorities, suffice to guarantee the various statements of the text.

Excerpt from Bricks From Babel: A Brief View, Myths, Traditions and Religious, Belief of Races, Concise Studies in Ethnography
Betwixt the world destroyed, and world restored. Paradise Lost, Book XII.
The same day were all the fountains Of the great deep broken up, and the windows Of Heaven were Opened. And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills that were under the whole Heaven, were covered. Thus Simply does Holy Writ describe that tremendous event, which all races of men have exhausted their vocabularies in, endeavoring to depict, and which, while it changed the face of nature, and altered the current of the history Of humanity, left also its indelible impress upon the' hearts of men, and stands at the beginning Of every known cosmogony.
