Excerpt from The Waters Above the Firmament, or the Earth's Annular System: The Mosaic Record Scientifically Explained
"The Annular Theory" was first given to the world in a pamphlet entitled "The Deluge and Its Cause," in 1874. The first edition of this volume was published in 1885, and entitled "The Story of the Rocks; or. The Earths Annular System." Both were published by a common printer, and sold without advertising. Revised and enlarged, it is again given to the public through the regular business channels of well-established publishers, as "The Waters above the Firmament." The theory - the history of which is left for other times and other pens - originated with me many years ago as a small conception. The idea led me into practical investigations and deep research of ancient records, with the result that it has grown and developed into a theory, I believe, "not born to die," and caused me to produce the following series of volumes (of which "The Waters above the Firmament" is the first), nearly all ready for publication - the work of more than thirty years. These volumes occupy separate but contiguous fields, and present an overwhelming array of testimony in support of the claim that our planet was, until long after the beginning of the human period, surrounded by vast lingering remnants of its Saturn-like rings. They will be published, Providence permitting, as indicated at the end of this volume.

Excerpt from The Waters Above the Firmament, or the Earth's Annular System: The Mosaic Record Scientifically Explained
To the end of carrying toward completion the work begun by our father, our lives will be devoted. And as the demand arises we hope to give to the public further evidence in support of annular evolution.
We undertake this work not only with the feeling that we are fulfilling a sacred trust, but with a love of the work for itself, and with a profound conviction of its importance to the progress of science.
While we may be able from time to time to present to the world even vast accumulations of evidence gleaned from the fields of geology and especially myth ology, we can do but little more than suggest to more able and scholarly minds than our own the work to be done in the fields of Philology and Biology.
