On the 11th day of July, 1859, my Document, entitled:  “Great News for the Friends of Progression in Truth and Righteousness towards the promised New Era of Harmony and Peace amongst all nations” was set in type, the proof-sheet corrected by me, and a portion of copies struck off on the same day.  We were preparing readers for the first convention which will be held in the New Hall on the Peace Union settlement in the latter part of the next month, and requesting Editors to publish that Document.  But I think that the warlike spirit of destruction kept most of them in the servitude of monarchs.  But that document was to be set in type and printed on the same day, on which Napoleon and Francis Joseph made their treaty of peace at Villafranca for an important testimony, that spirits from our sphere have controlled the affairs also there, so that if you hurry to do what is required in this book, you will prevent immense destruction of human life and property in this country, otherwise you should know that I have done more than from a mortal man could be expected, to move you for action.  But when men become such beasts that they have no sense for spiritual things, destruction is a necessary consequence.  At the commencement of the first treatise page 6 you see that Mr. Belly gave occasion to that treatise.  Last month he came again to Paris and remains there according to newspapers until the 20th of the next month; and I proposed that on the same day our first convention should commence in the New Hall.  We quote from said document in which the title of this book is copied, the close as follows:  “The book with the above copied title will be published by Robert D. Eldrige in our Convention, and then copies will be sent by him to those who send to him the money (50 cents fur one copy, twenty dollars for 50 copies, 35 dollars for 100 copies) either before or after or at the Convention.  He being a man of property and known as our trusty fellow labourer for improving the condition of mankind, has charge of the business department at our Peace Union, while, I the writer of this book and of this article am bound to devote my precious time to spiritual objects for Harmony and Peace of Nations, requesting to direct letters which do not belong particularly to my sphere, to him under the direction:  Robert D. Eldrige, Donnally’s Mill, Perry Co:  Pa.”  This book appears small for this price; but remember the contents of page 169, and collect subscribers, and as soon as we print the second edition, we will send a large pamphlet as supplement without additional charge.  In the mean time we assure you that also this small book contains so large an amount of most important points for you, that the oftener you study it, the more you will learn to appreciate its value; and the enormous labour for obtaining all the parts contained in this book cannot be paid with money, and my labour never was paid.
