The True Theory of the Sun, Showing the Common Origin of the Solar Spots and Corona, and of Atmospheric Storms and Cyclones (Classic Reprint)

This is both right and reasonable, and the author feels the more anxious to make himself thoroughly understood, because the theory herein presented has a history which the public ought to know. The work is not written for the man of science. It does not soar above the general level of an educated understanding, nor out of the region of experience. I ts statements abound in no uncommon technical phrases, but rather aim, by appealing to simple analogies, to invest the subject with a common-sense interest for all who have the good of their fellow-creatures at heart, and for whom nature has some charms. Furthermore, it may be stated that the reader will find in these pages an uncompromising dissent from the teachings of infidelity, and from agnosticism in every form. It may be accused of a lack of conservatism, if boldness in questioning the dogmas of the schools be deserving of such a charge; but if these dogmas are in any degree contrary to the analogies sanctioned both by Nature and theW ord, the author glories in the stigma thereby conveyed, and willingly accepts the taboo placed upon his name. That we are living in an age of great mental activity is a truism which few will deny; for not only is knowledge increasing, but the desire and facilities for obtaining it are increasing also.
