From the preface: "This fable my lord devised, to the end that he might exhibit therein a model or description of a college, instituted for the interpreting of nature, and the producing of great and marvelous works for the benefit of man, under the name of Solomon's House, or the College of the Six Days' Works." This book must be read by anyone interested in the spiritual history of the founding of the Unites States of America. |
