Excerpt: ... it is that I find myself extremely straitened, in discoursing of so great a subject in so narrow a compass. All, therefore, that I can say here will amount to a few short hints only, though perhaps no inconsiderable ones. Seeing, therefore, as I said before in the fourth postulatum, it is plain, from Rev. xvii. 10, that the imperial government was the regnant head of the Roman Beast at the time of the vision, we have only the two following heads to consider, as to their rise and duration. Let these things, therefore, be minded here: --1. That the seventh head, or king of Rome (as I hinged before), whose character is, that he was immediately to succeed to the imperial government, and to continue but a short space (Rev. xvii. 10), that, I say, this government could be no other than that of the kingdom of the Ostro-Goths in Italy. For it is plain that the imperial dignity was extinguished in Italy and in the western parts of the empire, by Odoacer, the king of the Heruli, who forced Augustulus, the last sprig of an emperor, to abdicate his throne and power in the year 475, or 476 as others say; and though this Odoacer was soon destroyed by Theodoric, the king of the Ostro-Goths, yet the same form of regal government was continued by Theodoric and his successors; and though this kingdom continued for nearly eighty years, reckoning from Odoacer to Teias, yet the angel might justly call this a short time; for so it was, if compared either with the preceding imperial or succeeding Papal government; which suggests a very strong argument against some who would make this seventh king to denote the Oriental Empire, which, as it began long before this time, so it lasted many centuries afterwards, and was not totally extinct till Mohammed the Great's time, in the year 1453; a..

Fiction or philosophy, profound knowledge or shocking heresy? When Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation was published anonymously in 1844, it sparked one of the greatest sensations of the Victorian era. More than a hundred thousand readers were spellbound by its startling vision—an account of the world that extended from the formation of the solar system to the spiritual destiny of humanity. As gripping as a popular novel, Vestiges combined all the current scientific theories in fields ranging from astronomy and geology to psychology and economics. The book was banned, it was damned, it was hailed as the gospel for a new age. This is where our own public controversies about evolution began. In a pioneering cultural history, James A. Secord uses the story of Vestiges to create a panoramic portrait of life in the early industrial era from the perspective of its readers. We join apprentices in a factory town as they debate the consequences of an evolutionary ancestry. We listen as Prince Albert reads aloud to Queen Victoria from a book that preachers denounced as blasphemy vomited from the mouth of Satan. And we watch as Charles Darwin turns its pages in the flea-ridden British Museum library, fearful for the fate of his own unpublished theory of evolution. Using secret letters, Secord reveals how Vestiges was written and how the anonymity of its author was maintained for forty years. He also takes us behind the scenes to a bustling world of publishers, printers, and booksellers to show how the furor over the book reflected the emerging industrial economy of print. Beautifully written and based on painstaking research, Victorian Sensation offers a new approach to literary history, the history of reading, and the history of science. Profusely illustrated and full of fascinating stories, it is the most comprehensive account of the making and reception of a book (other than the Bible) ever attempted.
