""Creation By The Immediate Agency Of God, As Opposed To Creation By Natural Law"" is a book written by Monck Mason in 1845. The book explores the idea of creation and the different ways in which it can be understood. Mason argues that creation is not simply the result of natural laws, but rather is the direct result of God's immediate agency. He contends that the universe and all its complexities could not have come into being through natural processes alone, and that the hand of God must have been involved in its creation. Mason also examines the implications of this view of creation for theology, philosophy, and science. The book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the nature of creation and the role of God in the universe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Monck Mason's account of the famous 1836 flight from London to Weilburg, in which he was a participant, is a classic of ballooning which vividly conveys the flavor of the adventures of the early aeronauts as well as offering a valuable insight into contemporary knowledge of the subject. It describes this night flight as: "like cleaving our way through black marble." The aeronautical expedition described was made on Nov. 7-8, 1836, and covered about 480 miles, the longest balloon voyage on record until it was surpassed by John Wise in 1859. This voyage, together with later activities of Green and Monck Mason, furnished inspiration and material for Edgar Allan Poe's balloon hoax in 1844.
