Some foxing and penciled notations, including former owner?s name in a period hand. [20-353] Applying logic and science to the unknown, Brewster, in Chapter 1, gives his reason for the publication. ?Man has in all ages sought for a sign from heaven, and yet he has been habitually blind to the millions of wonders with which he is surrounded. If the following pages should contribute to abate this deplorable indifference to all that is grand and sublime in the universe, and if they should inspire the reader with a portion of that enthusiasm of love and gratitude which can alone prepare the mind for its final triumph, the labours of the author will not have been wholly fruitless.?.
