I found this book during a renovation of a mormon tabernacle. Something about the passage " Addressed to the Progressive Intelligence of the Age" intrigued me. I've read it cover to cover and found it fascinating.  Definitely not what I would consider Mormon literature at all.  Really more of a libertarian naturalist approach to life and spirituality. Hard to find much info on the author and/or Series. I have yet to see another copy this old in my research. Definitely one of a kind.  It is in rough shape, but is completely legible,  has one page that has been taped. It is well over 100 years old, and looks, feels and smells like an old library.  Would make an interesting and rare gift or addition to anyone's collection.
