unencumbered by evasive veils, which preserved them perhaps
in the past from the violence of tyrants and intellectual
task -masters in the high places of religion and
science, but which are rent on every side, and " execrable
from the moment that they are useless," may shine forth in
the darkness of doubt and uncertainty, to illuminate the
strait and narrow avenues which communicate between the
seen and the unseen.
While this work was passing through the press, Mr
Hargrave Jennings has issued the third edition of " The
Eosicrucians, their Kites and Mysteries." It is spread over
the space of two large volumes of an imposing and hand-
some appearance. It embodies some new but wholly
irrelevant materials, and does not contain one syllable of
additional information on its ostensible subject. The
additional illustrations are quite beside the question,
having no reference, however esoteric and remote, to the
Eosicrucian mystery. This edition, in fact, justifies still
further the severe criticism which I have been forced to
make on the purposeless and rambling speculations of its
eccentric author.
