Excerpt: ... it is that I find myself extremely straitened, in discoursing of so great a subject in so narrow a compass. All, therefore, that I can say here will amount to a few short hints only, though perhaps no inconsiderable ones. Seeing, therefore, as I said before in the fourth postulatum, it is plain, from Rev. xvii. 10, that the imperial government was the regnant head of the Roman Beast at the time of the vision, we have only the two following heads to consider, as to their rise and duration. Let these things, therefore, be minded here: --1. That the seventh head, or king of Rome (as I hinged before), whose character is, that he was immediately to succeed to the imperial government, and to continue but a short space (Rev. xvii. 10), that, I say, this government could be no other than that of the kingdom of the Ostro-Goths in Italy. For it is plain that the imperial dignity was extinguished in Italy and in the western parts of the empire, by Odoacer, the king of the Heruli, who forced Augustulus, the last sprig of an emperor, to abdicate his throne and power in the year 475, or 476 as others say; and though this Odoacer was soon destroyed by Theodoric, the king of the Ostro-Goths, yet the same form of regal government was continued by Theodoric and his successors; and though this kingdom continued for nearly eighty years, reckoning from Odoacer to Teias, yet the angel might justly call this a short time; for so it was, if compared either with the preceding imperial or succeeding Papal government; which suggests a very strong argument against some who would make this seventh king to denote the Oriental Empire, which, as it began long before this time, so it lasted many centuries afterwards, and was not totally extinct till Mohammed the Great's time, in the year 1453; a..

This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author opens his subject with a brief but luminous outline of the arrangement and formation of the astral and planetary systems of the heavens. He first describes the solar system, of which our earth is a member, consisting of the sun, planets, and satellites with the less intelligible orbs termed comets, and taking as the uttermost bounds of this system the orbit of Uranus, it occupies a portion of space not less than three thousand six hundred millions of miles in diameter. The mind cannot form an exact notion of so vast an expanse, but an idea of it may be obtained from the fact, that, if the swiftest racehorse ever known had began to traverse it at full speed at the time of the birth of MOSES, he would only yet have accomplished half his journey. Vast as is the solar system, it is only one of an infinity of others which may be still more extensive. Our sun is supposed to be a star belonging to a constellation of stars, each of which has its accompaniment of revolving planets; and the constellation itself with similar constellations to form revolving clusters round some mightier centre of attraction; and so on, each astral combination increasing in number, magnitude, and complexity, till the mind is utterly lost in the vain effort to grasp the limitless arrangement. Of the stars astronomers can hardly be said to know anything with certainty. Sirius, which is the most lustrous, was long supposed to be the nearest and most within the reach of observation, but all attempts to calculate the distance of that luminary have proved futile. Of its inconceivable remoteness some notion may be formed by the fact, that the diameter of the earth's annual orbit, if viewed from it, would dwindle into an invisible point. This is what is meant by the stars not having, like the planets, a parallax; that is, the earths' orbit, as seen from them, does not subtend a measurable angle. With two other stars, however, astronomers have unexpectedly and recently been more fortunate than with Sirius, and have been able to calculate their distances from the earth. The celebrated BESSEL, and soon afterwards, the late Mr. HENDERSON, astronomer royal for Scotland, were the first to surmount the difficulty that had baffled the telescopic resources of the HERSCHELS. BESSEL detected a parallax of one-third of a second in the star 61 Cygni, and in the constellation of the Centaur HENDERSON found another star whose parallax amounted to one second. Of the million of fixed glittering points that adorn the sky, these are the only two whose distances have been calculated, and to express them, miles, leagues, or orbits seems inadequate. Light, whose speed is known to be 192,000 miles per second, would be three years in reaching our earth from the star of HENDERSON; and starting from BESSEL'S star and moving at the same rate it could only reach us in ten years. These are the nearest stars, but there are others whose distances are immeasurably greater, and whose light, though starting from them at the beginning of creation, may not have reached our globe!
