24 HISTORY OF THE ROSICRUCIANS. ascertainable aims of the Rosicrucian adepts. It is the product of intellectual subtlety and the poetic gift of dis- cerning curious analogies ; it is quite beside the purpose of serious historical inquiry, and my object in it quoting here is to show by the mere fact of its existence that the whole question of the significance of the Crucified Rose, in its connection with the society, is one of pure conjecture, that no Rosicrucian manifestos and no acknowledged Brother have ever given any explanation concerning it, and that no presumption is afforded by the fact of its adoption for the antiquity of the society symbolism. The researches of various writers, petent, have definitely or for its connection with universal all more or less com- established the Crux Ansata as typical of the male and female generative organs in the act of union, the Egyptian Tau, with its variants as typical of the masculine potency, and the Rose as the feminine emblem. Then by a natural typological evolution the Cross came to signify the divine creative energy which fecundated the obscure matrix of the primeval substance and caused it to bring forth the universe. The simple union of the Rose and the Cross suggests the same meaning as the Crux Ansata, but the crucified Buddhistic Rose may be a symbol of the asceticism which destroys natural desire. There is little correspondence, in either case, with known Rosicrucian tenets, and, therefore, the device of the Rose-Cross is separated from ancient symbolism, and is either a purely arbitrary arid thus unexplainable sign, or its significance is to be sought elsewhere. Now, I purpose to show that the Rosicrucians were united with a movement, which, originating in Germany, was destined to revolutionise the world of thought and to

To accomplish this task satisfactorily, I must first lay before my readers the facts and documents which I have collected concerning the Fraternity.
