Principles of Nature
Elihu Palmer was an ordained Presbyterian minister from Connecticut who valued truth much more than dogma and, therefore, became a Deist. In 1796 he started the Deistical Society of New York and became a close friend and fellow Deist of Thomas Paine.
In 1793 he became blind due to yellow fever. However, this did not stop him in his efforts to promote Deism! His wife helped him to continue the Deist struggle for enlightenment and was of great importance in helping him write this excellent book. Perhaps his blindness and the Bible's false promises of "faith-healing" gave him even greater insight into the reality that is Deism.
Palmer does a great job in both conveying the sublime natural beauty of Deism while also making the shortcomings of the Bible crystal clear. Thomas Paine had this to say to Elihu Palmer regarding this important book: "I received by Mr. Livingston the letter you wrote me, and the excellent work you have published. I see you have thought deeply on the subject, and expressed your thoughts in a strong and clear style. The hinting and intimating manner of writing that was formerly used on subjects of this kind produced skepticism, but not conviction. It is necessary to be bold." And bold this book is!!
