PRINCIPLES

OF

NATURE;

OR,

A DEVELOPMENT OF THE MORAL CAUSES

OF

HAPPINESS AND MISERY

AMONG THE

HUMAN SPECIES.

By ELIHU PALMER.

PHILOSOPHY teaches us to seek in Nature, and
the Knowledge of her Laws, for the Cause of every
Event; and when this Knowledge shall become uni-
versal, Man will relinquish with elevated Satisfac-
tion, his Attachment to supernatural and vindictive
Theology, which has served only to destroy the Har-
mony of Nature, and demoralize the intelligent
World.
