Wikisource has original text related to this article:

Principles 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] The bookseller who first published Palmer's work (among other works, including those by Thomas Paine) was fined and jailed for several years.[1]
