Reprint of the original, first published in 1860.

First published in 1860, "The Genesis of the Earth and of Man" is a fascinating treatise on the origin of mankind by R. S. Poole. Reginald Stuart Poole (1832 - 1895) was an English numismatist, archaeologist, and orientalist whose best work is arguably his contributions to Encyclopaedia Britannica on the subjects of on Egypt, Hieroglyphics and Numismatics. He also worked on "Smith's Dictionary of the Bible," and was "Keeper of Coins" at the British Museum. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in the question of where we came from, and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Contents include: "The First Narrative of the Process of Creation-In What Manner was it Revealed?," "The First and Second Narratives of Creation, Considered as Describing Revelations to Adam in Visions, Reconcilable with Each Other, and also with Physical Facts, and with the Statement that, 'In Six Days, the Lord made Heaven and Earth'," etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
