As
noted in the previous chapter, the first edition of Plan of the Ages was
published by H. N. Fowler & Company of Philadelphia, which inserted
advertisements for the book in newspapers. [See the example below.] The
advertisement praised Russell as a logical, “close reasoner” who “is eminently
scriptural” in his arguments. “The subject and its treatment are deeply
interesting,” the ad said, “and all seekers after the so-called hidden truths
of Revelation will be delighted to find a treatise that explains so clearly
things but half understood or mysterious before.”

Thank you for this fascinating and compelling article.
The comprehensiveness of this research is staggering and profoundly impressive.
A compelling look into a history many of us had long thought lost.
Thank you!
