Excerpt from A Disquisition on Creation, Annihilation, the Future Existence, and Final Happiness of All Sentient Beings The following disquisition was commenced with the sole view of proving the immortality of the soul; but was imperceptibly extended, without regard to any particular arrangement, to other subjects, more or less connected with the principal design of the writer. If the premises laid down be true, and the consequences, though novel, be legitimately drawn, no injury can result to society from their promulgation; should they be false, or should illogical conclusions have been drawn from true premises, it is the sincere wish of the writer that the fallacy may be clearly and distinctly pointed out by some more able and discriminating mind than he possesses, especially as the detection of error, and the subversion of every false system, either in morals, metaphysics, philosophy, or theology, shorten the road to truth, which is powerful and will finally prevail.
