Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Equal Distribution of Wealth: A Discourse Delivered Before the Broome County Polytechnic Association, Binghamton, N. Y., June 26, 1872
Among the truths-which modern science has establish ed is - the vast antiquity of earth and man. The asser tion of tradition that the Universe was created but a few thousand years ago, has been completely refuted by ascer tained facts. As calculated from the growth of coral reefs, it is as certain, as the conclusions of combined Agassiz and arithmetic, that the earth has existed hun dreds of thousands of years; and as deduced from the palpable evidences found in'the earth's crust, the most eminent geologists agree that the globe has existed mil lions of years.
