Utopia: The History of an Extinct Planet

Written in 1884, this "Utopia", like most other "Utopias" was written as a fable or an allegory of the times, and a slanted, or biased, prediction for the future. "You have seen the life of a planet from infancy to dissolution. Rapidly have I shown to you the various stages of development and decline of life with the civilization of humanity." This eBook edition of the 1884 original has been carefully edited for errors and is as true to the original as possible. [EDB Pubs] Publisher's note: While it is true that some old books can be found for free on the internet, the quality of most 'free' material is not acceptable. Here is an example of the work to be done in order to produce a readable version for the Kindle reader: Text found online: For a Miuilar ica^on f have i .oliiled (he slory of the Virgin birth from "^Miracles," lliongh li is in jcnlity one of lhai cla-^s.

The same text after editing: For a similar reason I have isolated the story of the Virgin birth from "Miracles," though it is in reality one of that class. But it is so unique in character that it cannot be reduced to the type of psychic phenomena with which we are familiar and I desire here to bring out the alliances of Christianity rather than its uniqueness. The fundamental object of "miracles" was to establish the spiritual claims of Christ.
