ARCANA OF NATURE: OR, THE HISTORY AND LAWS OF CREATION
Book Details + Condition: Swan Sonnenschein & Co. (London) and Stillman Publishing (New York). Second Edition, 1909 (originally published in 1860). Much reprinted in a revised edition during the turn of the century, and also more recently. 471 pages, with photographic portraits and illustrations. Hudson Tuttle wrote books on science and Spiritualism. Dr. Emmet Densmore’s extensive 100-page Introduction includes memoirs of Emanuel Swedenborg, Andrew Jackson Davis, Emmanuel Swedenborg, Tuttle, Cora Richmond, and W.J. Colville; and since all are described here as “psychics”, will serve to indicate the scope and character of the volume. Dr. Densmore was impressed with the phenomena to which attention is directed in this volume, and he feels they deserve consideration "from the psychic student as well as from the general public". Chapters to Tuttle's work include:
- The Origin of Worlds
- Creation of the Universe
- History of the Earth, from the Gaseous Ocean to the Cambrian
- Life and Organization
- Plan of Organic Beings
- Influence of Conditions
- Dawn of Life
- History of Life Through the Silurian Formation
- Carboniferous or Coal Formation
- The Tertiary
- Origin of Man
- The Human Brain
- And much more.
