From the Preface to this Second Edition: "Since the first edition of this work - an unpretentious pamphlet of 48 pages - was published, so much interest in the subject has been manifested, that a second edition is without doubt called for. In fact, long after the first edition was exhausted, letters from vaious parts of the world, were received asking for copies, which to our regret, could not be supplied. "In that pamphlet very much of the evidence we had accumulated from various sources had to be omitted, so as to reduce what otherwise would have been a bulky volume to a short treatise; retaining sufficient evidence to convince the minds of those who would take cognizance of and duly estimate proved facts of nature. Our labours have not been in vain. "Many have been enabled to see through the delusions of modern astronomy. Letters from various parts testify that, in some cases, men and and women have begun to make use of their brain-power, which had been stunted and dwarfed by acceptation, without the slightest proof, of the unscientific, unreasonable, unnatural, and infidel teachings of men foisted upon a credulous public in the name of 'Science.' "Others again, tell that the writers have thrown to the moles and to the bats the world-wide, an almost universally-believed hoax that we are living on a whirling sea-earth globe, revolving faster than a cannon-ball travels, rushing through 'space' at a rate beyond human power to conceive, and flying - with the whole of the so-called solar-system - in another direction twenty times the speed of its roation. "To the editors of newspapers, who, whether favourably or unfavourably, reviewed the pamphlet, our thanks are due, and now respectfully tendered. The edition is sent forth with the assurance of the Divine blessing and the firm conviction that TRUTH IS STRONG AND MUST PREVAIL. T. W. 12, Castle Buildings, Durban, Natal, South Africa, November, 1899". 192 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.
