OR,

GOD'S SIX DAYS' WORK.

A BOOK OF RARE ORIGINALITY AND BEAUTY.

By the Author of

"The Present Conflict of Science with the Christian Religion."

T

HE subject of the work is the grandest and the most profoundly interesting

that can engage the science, or occupy the mind of man-the creation of the WORLD, of the UNIVERSE!

Here the reader will find it demonstrated that there is no conflict between Science and the account of Creation given by Moses in the Bible; that both are true and in perfect harmony; that the Bible is literal, pure and beautiful.

Scripture and Science have met together,

Genesis and Geology have kissed each other.

The work embraces the whole science of Geology, and as a study of the general system of the universe, of the forms and forces and functions of creation, it is a volume of unsurpassed interest-a store-house of golden thought, rich in research, profound in truths, vivid in descriptions, unfolding in full and flowing eloquence the amazing grandeur of the "SIX WORK-DAYS OF GOD," in which he created the world and all things therein.

It traces the history of our planet from its remote and dateless origination through its successive and marvellous geological revolutions, the dark and dismal period of its last chaotic condition, and, finally, through the consecutive stages which, ultimately arranged, furnished and adorned it to be a fit habitation for man.

The field traversed by the writer is as sublime as it is immense he leads us to contemplate the impervious night of chaos relieved by the majestic fiat, Let there be Light-the clear expanse and magnificent water-works of the firmament established—the gathering together of the deep and wide sea, the upheaval of continents and islands, and their adornment in the charms and fragrance of vegetation-the unveiling of the glorious orbs of the sun and moon and starry hosts of heaventhe peopling of the oceans with fishes, and of the air with birds, of countless forms
