Glimpses Of The Cosmos PDF Download

Excerpt from Glimpses of the Cosmos, Vol. 2: Period 1875 1882; Age 34 40 Ester F. Ward died April 18, 1913. On L the evening before his death, Volume I of Glimpses of the Cosmos reached him. To those of us who knew, it was pathetic to note the joy with which he received it, the tenderness with which he handled it. Yet we felt he would die content, for in this book he found the realization of his heart's desire. Glimpses of the Cosmos was to him the culmination of his intellectual life, the rounding out of his fifty years' search for the truth. In it we see a philosophy in the making. When, during his illness, the task of proof-read ing became too great, he asked me to do the work for him, and I have tried to fulfill my trust. It was his wish that Volume I should not appear until Volume III was finished. Now, with the comple tion of the third volume of the series, the first three volumes are given to the world reverently and with the conviction that they will be appreciated and understood by his friends and followers.
