Very rare and nicely preserved copy of one of the foundational texts of the 19th century "flat earth" / "anti-globe" movement. In extremely high demand these days by both proponents and opponents. Illustrated with many do-it-yourself experiments whereby one may verify that the earth is indeed "not a globe."
In a way that feels remarkably similar to the many Christians who hold the position today, the "science" included here is there not primary, but secondary, included in the service of bolstering the claim that Scripture teaches a flat earth. And that it is the authority and inerrancy of Scripture at stake if we buy into the "globalist" delusion.
Gleason, Alex. Is the Bible from Heaven? Is the Earth a Globe? In Two Parts. Does Modern Science and the Bible Agree?

Second Edition [Enlarged]. Buffalo. Published by The Buffalo Electrotype and Engraving Co. 1893. 402pp.
A very good copy, bound in cloth, very solid, with generally bright pages, though the text block is slightly rippled.
