William F. Warren develops the hypothesis that the original home of humanity and the traditions associated with Eden point towards the North Pole. His argument brings together nineteenth-century interpretations of geography, geology, natural history and comparative mythology.
Six parts review earlier searches for Eden, introduce the polar hypothesis and assemble the evidence Warren believes supports it. Traditions from several cultures are compared with features he associates with an Arctic paradise, including unusual days, seasons and celestial appearances. Original diagrams, supplementary discussions and extensive indexes accompany this complete illustrated 1885 Houghton, Mifflin edition.
