Not illustrated. 1860 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IV. THE MOSAIC ACCOUNT OF CREATION. This sublime production asserts, from inferences fairly drawn from its first sentence, that God, having completed the design of creation, commenced its execution by manifesting his first fiats upon the heaven and the earth. From the conclusions which are drawn out of the account itself, heaven, as the original also indicates, is expanse or space; and earth, as we well know, is matter in combination, and in this connection is earth still, but was in a state without form, and the place of its future was void.

The only reasonable answer which can be given is, that matter was fiated into existence in its lowest division, its primordial particle state, which we well know has no form; and that that part of heaven, or space, in which the combination was to be made to cause "the dry land" to appear, was void. Those geologists who have taken a limited view of the nature of the fossil, have seen a wide field of openness "in the beginning/' which has shaped their minds to the conclusion that in this vast territory of their fancy, or at least before what they denominate the Mosaic creation proper, there was room for all geologic changes. As a plausible geologic argument, it may not be out of place; but when the dead conflict with the fourth commandment must have been before the eyes of at least the theologic portion of them, we scarcely know what to think of their awkward positions respecting the Scriptures.
