In regard to the subject of this treatise, therefore, prophecy may be thought of as the seed or germ Of which history is the full developed tree in all its ramifications and foliage. From the prophetic word, symbol or expression spring the Volumes of human history. It is the same power that is the author of the objects of nature, which foretells and develops human history in its seemingly cyclical manifestations, which, indeed, knows the beginning, the progress and the issue of all things.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
