Barnitz; Cincinnati. There is a frontispiece engraving titled "Hill of Science." Decorative cloth binding. The contents are as follows: Women - Her Rights and Duties Politically Considered; The Undue Influence of Wealth; The Influence of Novel Reading; The Follies of Fashion; Religious Fancies and Follies; Modern Spiritualism - The Absurdity of its Spirituality Exposed, and the Natural Causes which Produce the Phenomena Explained. From the author's Preface: "The Fancies and Follies of the age, as considered in this volume, are the deviations which man has made, or would make, from truth, in regard to the subjects considered, thus violating the principles of his nature and defeating his own happiness. In considering the question of human nature, all mystic and metaphysical abstractions have been carefully avoided, as having, in all ages, resulted in more abstruse error than they have educed practical truth. I have earnestly sought to divest myself of all prejudice, and all opinions formed upon mere human authority, and to copy what I have written from the great book of nature as it is written by its Omnipotent Author."
