world, the resurrection of the dead, and the final judgment, will be asserted dogmatically in this work, substantiated by unquestionable proofs, and by light drawn from hitherto unknown or discredited sources, will be explained in the clearest manner; so that the believer in divine revelation may know in a large measure the when, the how, and the wherefore of the great events which have already happened, and make plausible conjectures of the still more stupendous revolutions which are destined to occur.
Any philosophical or theological system which fulfils these promises, will give us a new glimpse of the Philosophy of History, and of that golden chain of providence, which holds all things in consistence, and binds the beginning and the end of the world together.
