WITH AN ESSAY "THE VISION OF SCIPIO" CONSIDERED AS A FRAGMENT OF THE MYSTERIES. BY L. O.

THE GOLDEN VERSES OF PYTHAGORAS. BY A. E. A.

THE SYMBOLS OF PYTHAGORAS. BY S. A.

One vol., cloth, 8vo. 2/6 net.

"Not since 1804 has any English version of the two famous Pythagorean treatises included in this volume appeared in book form. Of their importance it is sufficient to state that they have been justly held in the highest esteem by Mystics from an early period to the present time. This has also been the case with the Somnium Scipionis or Vision of Scipio, Cicero's famous essay. L. O.'s able essay will be found most valuable to students."

The Building of the Cosmos.

BY ANNIE BESANT.

Cloth, 8vo. Price 2/- net.

"Sound; Fire; Yoga; and Symbolism are the subjects treated of in this most excellent book. The essay upon Yoga, the Kingly Science of the Soul whereby a man may attain to that Divine Wisdom which is his birthright, deserves to be read of all men. To lovers of the Scriptures of the World the essay on 'Symbolism' will appeal strongly and will be found most helpful, for in those Ancient Writings the most important truths are frequently veiled from the superficial reader by an allegory or a symbol, and in this essay the reader will find a clue to the method by which the study of symbols may be approached with beneficial results. Considerable light is thrown upon some of the very complex symbols pertaining to Indian Philosophies."

THE YOGA OF CHRIST: or the Science of the Soul.

WRITTEN DOWN BY A. K. G.

EDITED BY F. HENRIETTA MÜLLER, B.A.

Cloth, 8vo, 2/- net. Wrappers, 1/- net.

"This book appeals especially to that large class of devout souls who find neither satisfying Truth nor edifying practice in Modern Christianity; who believe, nevertheless, that Christ had a message for them, and that somewhere hidden beneath the noise of words, and the misinterpretations of sectarians, a Truth, divine and living, may be found: to them the following pages will bring, if not the full radiance of Christ's illuminating Love, at least many valuable suggestions for thought, and aids in the solution of difficult problems. That Christianity, the religion which the West has made peculiarly its own, should be reverentially taught by 'an Indian' from an Indian point of view, is in itself unusual, may be regarded as a happy omen of the ultimate breaking down of those barriers of Sectarianism which have hitherto been potent in dividing the English people from sympathetic communion with the natives of India."
