This work covers themes and concepts that will be familiar to an LDS audience: Tree of Life, the Fall of Man, and cosmology. At Grandin's printing shop in Palmyra, New York, Abner Cole quoted passages from The Course of Time in his gossipy little rag, The Reflector, while the Book of Mormon was issuing from the same press. In his number for April 19, 1830, Cole, editing under the name of Obediah
Dogberry, Esquire, even supplied a brief 'Biographical Sketch of The Rev. Robert Pollok.' - Mormon Parallel 327.
