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.
