Volney was once as influential as Tom Paine, and the author of one of the most popular works of the French Revolutionary era. The Ruins of Empires makes an argument for popular sovereignty, couched in the alluring and accessible form of an Oriental dream-tale. A favourite of both Thomas Jefferson, who translated it, and the young Abraham Lincoln, the Ruins advances a scheme of radical, utopian politics premised upon the deconstruction of all the world's religions. It was widely celebrated by radicals in Britain and America, and exercised an enormous influence on poets from Percy Bysshe Shelley to Walt Whitman for its indictments of tyranny and priestcraft. Volney instead advocates a return to natural precepts shorn of superstition, set out in his sequel, the Catechism of Natural Law. These days Volney enjoys a high profile in African-American Studies as a proponent of Black Egyptianism.

HAVING recently purchased a set of stereotyped plates of Volney's Ruins, with a view of reprinting the same, I found, on examination, that they were considerably worn by the many editions that had been printed from them, and that they greatly needed both repairs and corrections. A careful estimate showed that the amount necessary for this purpose would go far towards reproducing this standard work in modern type and in an improved form. After due reflection this course was at length decided upon, and all the more readily, as by discarding the old plates and resetting the entire work, the publisher was enabled to greatly enhance its value, by inserting the translator's preface as it appeared in the original edition, and also to restore many notes and other valuable material which had been carelessly omitted in the American reprint.

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. 1853 edition. Excerpt: ...who, though a Manichean, was one of the most learned men of the third century--" All the world knows that the gospels were neither written by Jesus Christ, nor his apostles, but, a long time after, by unknown persons, who, rightly judging that they should not obtain belief respecting things which they had not seen, placed at the head of their recitals the names of contemporary apostles." Consult upon this question, " Histoire des Apologistes de la Religion Chretienne," attributed to Freret, but which was written by Burigny, member of the Academy of Inscriptions. See, also, Mosheim, de Rebus Christianorum; Correspondence of Atterbury, archbishop, 5 vols. 8vo., 1798; Toland Nazurenus; and Beausobre, Iiistoire du Manicheisme, vol. 1. From all that has been written for and against it, results that the precise origin of Christianity is unknown; that the pretended testimonies of Josephus (Antiq. Jud., lib. x'iii., c. 3) and of Tacitus (Annals, b. xv., c. 44), have been interpolated about the time of the council of N ice, and that nobody could ever demonstrate the radical fact, that is to say, the real existence of the personage who gave rise to the system. Without that existence, however, it would be difficult to conceive the appearance of the system at its known epoch, although history ofiers many examples of gratuitous and absolute snppositions. 'l'o resolve this truly curious and important problem, some man of sagacity, instruction, and, above all, impartiality, benefiting by the researches already made, should form a comparative table of the doctrine tain that your very gospels are only the book of some Mithriacs of Persia, and Essenians of Syria, who were a branch of reformed Samaneans." At these words, ...
