Beschreibung

"The aim of this work is to convince astronomers that there's no such power in this universe as attraction or repulsion in operation today ; or that it ever existed, except in the belief or imagination of those who follow this science. Why the present race upon this earth must be insane, to believe the Planets are held in space by attraction! The Author." from the preface.

"I can't take you into Heaven and show you the throne or the angels and other celestial beings there, but if you ever get there, or are permitted to see it, you will see that the general formation of the lower and upper Paradises are identical with that of the tongue. I can't help what you believe. The facts are there; and we are the microcosm." From illustration caption on p. 309 "The Tongue.". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 4335
