Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Belief in Immortality on Purely Logical Principles
According to orthodox creeds and a commonly entertained prejudice, the vastly greater part Of mankind, have never been blessed with what is technically termed a Revelation, and it is, hence, generally believed that the heathensfiz the peoples who are unprovided with a supernatural revela tion, can know nothing that is reliable Of a future life, and that, accordingly, they must either pine in dreary hopelessness, or. Fret In blank despair! Such - I am bold to say, is far from being the case. For the heathens possess a source Of knowledge inherent in human nature, Which - In a manner Similar to the revelation claimed for the Bible, isdesigned at once to guide our present, and to foreshadow: if not actually demonstrate, our future life.
