The Waters Above the Firmament, or the Earth’s Annular System: The Mosaic Record Scientifically Explained (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Waters Above the Firmament, or the Earth’s Annular System: The Mosaic Record Scientifically Explained “The Annular Theory” was first given to the world in a pamphlet entitled “The Deluge and Its Cause,” in 1874. The first edition of this volume was published in 1885, and entitled “The Story of the Rocks; or. The Earths Annular System.” Both were published by a common printer, and sold without advertising. Revised and enlarged, it is again given to the public through the regular business channels of well-established publishers, as “The Waters above the Firmament.” The theory – the history of which is left for other times and other pens – originated with me many years ago as a small conception. The idea led me into practical investigations and deep research of ancient records, with the result that it has grown and developed into a theory, I believe, “not born to die,” and caused me to produce the following series of volumes (of which “The Waters above the Firmament” is the first), nearly all ready for publication – the work of more than thirty years. These volumes occupy separate but contiguous fields, and present an overwhelming array of testimony in support of the claim that our planet was, until long after the beginning of the human period, surrounded by vast lingering remnants of its Saturn-like rings. They will be published, Providence permitting, as indicated at the end of this volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
