Nelson proposes that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints may be studied from two aspects: from the external aspect, by which are meant its organization as a church and its rites, doctrines, ceremonies, and practices as a social body; or from the internal aspect, by which is meant its philosophy or fundamental principles, the principles that must be, in order that its forms as a religion may exist. The author chooses to discuss the subject from its second or philosophic aspect, and attempt to show what answer Mormonism gives to the questions, Whence cam man?, Why is he here?, Whither does he tend?; at the same time making comparisons step by step with what modern scientific thought teaches along the same lines.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
