Not illustrated. 1879 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xxiii. growth of the earth. Looking up to the heavens we behold a thousand suns, and in the intervals betwixt them we know that there must be millions of sunlets and worlds which, from their comparative insignificance or opacity, are invisible. The first thought which occurs to the reflective mind, is, How came they there? when and from where? who is their Author? do they only exist for a time, or have they been from eternity? A numerous school of thinkers adopt the latter view, and that they will continue the same without change for ever. There they are, there they always were, and there they always will be. If they are asked, How are they there? Oh! it is chance! What gave them their wonderful motions? It is chance. How is it that all matter has attraction, a universal force which holds the materials of the worlds firmly bound together?--it must be chance. And the mysterious light that is everywhere in the presence of matter, and which continually enlightens the universe with glorious splendour, of course is chance; for it is the common title they give to all nature's productions, both in the heavens and the earth. We see the worlds held within their systems, instead of wandering at will; and the settled order, if broken through, would be universal chaos, yet it is chance. As a converse, the mighty comets, the grand messengers of life to the universe, while they are governed by the same laws as the planets, are held within no systems, but wander interminably. Thus, the same material forces and natural laws which keep the one class of bodies fixed, send the others wandering at random, through infinitely opposing principles equally indispensable for the welfare of the universe, produced by the same operations, yet in these...

Excerpt from Dreams of My Solitude on the Mysteries of the Heavens: Treating, Amongst Other Subjects, Upon the Causes of Motion; The Government of Comets, and the Important Part Assigned to These as Heralds of Life to the Worlds; And Lastly, the Natural Operations Which Have Created, and Are Still Creating, the Universe The views now first put together and published in this book are the fruit of meditations begun forty years ago, when the author, having emigrated to the southern hemisphere, was led by the nature of his pursuits to settle in the Australian Bush. Here he lived and spent the vigour of his days, isolated from the society of men with whom he could hold profitable intercourse, and all tidings, by means of literature, of what the rest of the world were about; and being thrown back in moody pensiveness upon him self and his own unaided powers of study and observation, he was drawn to commune silently with the starry hosts above, there so bright-eyed and fascinating, and to speculate thoughtfully on the powers that framed them, the laws that govern them, and the hand that guides their harmonious, yet mysterious, march. Here, as in leisure hours he brooded, thought after thought, by some to him inexplicable process, arose in his mind at intervals, and gradu ally took dark and uncertain shape in his dim conception, until each, as it threw light on the others, limned itself in clearer out.
