About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated.1836 Excerpt: ... It may be objected that the earth cannot be of a spherical form, as its surface presents the most irregular appearances, being in innumerable places elevated into mountains, or depressed into valleys. But these irregularities bear no greater proportion to its whole bulk than a few grains of sand to a common terrestrial globe, the highest mountains on its surface being little more than the two thousandth part of its diameter. Some of the mountains on the surface of the moon are higher than those on the earth, and yet that body appears, both to the naked eye, and through a telescope, of a spherical figure. Equally futile is the objection, which has been improperly and ignorantly drawn from the expressions occasionally to be met with in the Bible. The object of the inspired writers who vised these expressions, was not to advance a true system of natural philosophy, or to correct the popular errors of the day in matters of mere science, but to illustrate or enforce some precept or doctrine, or to record the occurrence of some remarkable event, which could not have been done intelligibly but by adopting; expressions in agreement with the opinions of the age. On the knowledge of the spherical figure of the earth, the art of navigation in a great measure depends; and all the voyages of discovery, which have been made in later years, were undertaken in consequence of the knowledge of this fact. Had mankind remained unacquainted with this discovery, the circumnavigation of the globe would never have been attempted--vast portions of the world would have remained unknown and unexplored--no regular intercourse would have been maintained between the various tribes of the human race--and, consequently, the blessings of Divine Revelation could never have been communicated...
