Collectanea Hermetica (Classic Reprint)

Hebrew and Chaldee should of course be read from right to left, and it was at first intended so to print them in their converted form, but the appearance of Hebrew in English letters reversed was too grotesque; AD tn is a representation of the A leph, daleth, nun, jrod, of A donai, but imda would have been sheer barbaiity: in the case of Hebrew words I have often added the pronunciation, The Secret Doctrine of Mme. Blavatsky, a work of erudition contning a vast fund of archaic doctrine, has supplied me with valuable quotations. If any readers desire a deeper insight into the analogies between numbers and ideas, I refer them in addition to the works of Eliphaz Lvi, Athanasius Kircher, Godfrey Higgins, Michael Maier, and John Heydon; I have quoted from each of these authorities, and Thomas Taylor s Theoretic Arithmetic has supplied me with a great part of the purely arithmetical notions of the Pythagoreans, the elucidation of which was mainly due to him. In conclusion, I request my readers, W. Wynm Wkstcott, 396 Camden Road, London, N. The author will be pleased to receive additions and suggestions from earnest students.
