I received this book in the mail today, addressed to me personally as a bulk mailing.  I have never heard of this before, so some Googling revealed these links.  It is a publication from the 19th century version of the Seventh Day Adventist Church and they don't seem to like Catholics.  Interesting.

I got it several months ago and did the same looking up to see what it was. I actually plan on reading, or at least browsing it at some point, just for the heck of it.

I have had that same plan for years. It seems to be mostly straightforward world history, but with their particular twist. 'Course, until I read it, I won't really know.
