From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template:Short description Template:Wikisource/outer corePrinciples of Nature, also known as The Principles of Nature, or A Development of the Moral Causes of Happiness and Misery among the Human Species, was a work written in 1801 by Elihu Palmer.[1] The work was similar to Thomas Paine's writings, and focused on "God, Deism, "revealed" religions, etc."[2] It has been considered the Bible of American deism.[1] Although Palmer first published in America, after his death, in 1819, Principles of Nature was published in England.[1] Richard Carlile was fined and jailed for several years for publishing Palmer's work in Britain (among other works deemed blasphemous, including those by Thomas Paine) .[1]
