While researching the history of "Second Adventism" prior to Charles Taze Russell, I discovered this brilliant and funny site: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Oracle/9941/index.html
From it I obtained the title of The Reverend Mr. Baxter's book, but I give it a slightly different introduction:
- - -
1868 CE - The Reverend M. Baxter provided the WTS their inspiration for unusually long book
titles with the publication of his work on Armageddon, titled,
"Louis Napoleon, the Infidel Antichrist Predicted in Prophecy to Confirm A Seven Years
Covenant With the Jews, About the Year 1861, and Nearly to Succeed in Gaining A Universal
Empire; and Then to be Deified, and Idolatrously Worshipped, and Also to Institute A 3 Years
Sanguinary Persecution Against the Christian Church, From 1864-1865 to 1868, During Which
Time Wars, Famine, Pestilences & Earthquakes, If Not Religious Persecution, Will Prevail in
England and America Until the Slaughter of the Witnesses, Elias and Another Prophet; After
Which Napoleon, Their Destroyer, Together with the Pope Are Foreshown to Be Cast Alive Into
the Lake of Fire At the Descent of Christ At Armageddon About the Year 1868"
