This work contains Volumes 1 and 2 of the original books. The author demonstrates that the impersonal forms of supernal faith have preceded the persons, and that when the supernal personal powers were evolved by any race, they commenced with the lowest class of ghosts or spirits, and in advancing, they proceeded in accordance with their own social development, to scheme the divine government on the standard of their own social state. In special chapters, the author details the rarer instances in which certain races have evolved the concepts of supreme and abstract deities. In conclusion, he shows that there have been men of original mental capacity in all times and countries, as demonstrated by a series of literary and historical records.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
