This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1863 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter I. In the First Book of Moses, called Genesis, (which signifies in the Greek, "generation," or "creation," and the Hebrew title of which is, "In the beginning,") we read as follows: --Ver. 1.--" In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

"At the beginning of the creation, the chaos floated, as a fish skims along the surface of a river; from whence arose something like a Thorn or Prickle, which, being capable of motion and variation, became a soul or spirit." How this Thorn tradition got into China we do not know. It certainly was not taken there by the early Catholic missionaries. It may have been a legend of the Jews resident there, or it may have been primeval, being carried there by early descendants of Noah, for the Chinese have a tradition of a flood, as have all other nations; and are not they "these from the land of Sinim," in Isa. xlix. 12, who, like all idolaters, have not the Shibboleth? The next portion of Genesis we will endeavour to illustrate is the subject of man's creation and his fall, and we...
