Comparatively speaking, 'A Book of the Beginnings' (London, 1881) was written in the dark, 'The Natural Genesis' (London, 1883) was written in the twilight, whereas 'Ancient Egypt' has been written in the light of day. The earlier books were met in England with the truly orthodox conspiracy of silence. Nevertheless, four thousand volumes have got into circulation somewhere or other up and down the reading world, where they are slowly working in their unacknowledged way. Probably the present book will be appraised at home in proportion as it comes back piecemeal from abroad, from Germany, or France, or maybe from the country of the Rising Sun. \u003cbr\u003eTo all lovers of the truth the writer now commends the verifiable truths that wait for recognition in these pages. \u003cbr\u003eTruth is all-potent with its silent power \u003cbr\u003eIf only whispered, never heard aloud, \u003cbr\u003eBut working secretly, almost unseen, \u003cbr\u003eSave in some excommunicated book; \u003cbr\u003e'Tis as the lightning with its errand done \u003cbr\u003eBefore you hear the thunder. \u003cbr\u003eFor myself, it is enough to know that in despite of many hindrances from straitened circumstances, chronic ailments, and the deepening shadows of encroaching age, my book is printed, and the subject-matter that I cared for most is now entrusted safely to the keeping of John Gutenberg, on this my nine-and-seventieth birthday. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eGERALD MASSEY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*********************Available in Print at Barnes and Noble website Search for ISBN: ISBN-13: 978-1461189497\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10: 1461189497","brand":"Mori Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083231052016,"sku":"2940013817241","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013817241_p0.jpg?v=1763599697","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013817241","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
