This is the history of the zenith of the early Adamites, when their superhuman attainments demanded their destruction; and by reason of the language being beyond all other languages the root language of Shinar it has been a labour of time to interpret the narrative, throughout which I have used commonplace and understandable terms, rendered in clear English of today. With the Flood the curtain falls, as it were, upon an interrupted and unfinished act of the great drama of Man; and when we realise the sin of stoppage and the challenge of the halt of progress, we stand appalled to watch the inevitable result, and shudder as the elemental powers remove all traces of rebellion from before Heaven. And as the ages blot out all but the mention of that vanished period that began we know not when, we may wonder when our scenes will come to the last one, and what will be the ending.". Illustr.: D. Bridgman-Metchim. Book Condition: Good. Binding: Cloth. Jacket: No Jacket
