This line of descent belongs to an authentic record of the origin of nations and the history of the human race. That record is the most ancient history in human possession and the most comprehensive. It comes fresh from the fountain of eternal truth, its purity preserved through the ages by a divine hand, and it is unsullied by human pride or prejudice. It lights up the far-distant past where human research in vain seeks to penetrate, displaying the power that laid the foundations of the earth and stretched out the heavens.
