The Law is for All

12 The Law is for All one-page “Class A” inspired Comment, received by Crowley in 1925, has been added. I wish to thank my friend Oliver Marlow Wilkinson, Louis Wilkinson’s son, for his encouragement and support in seeing his father’s work completed. Thanks are also due to Jack Parsons’ widow, the late Cameron, and Scott Hobbs, executor for Cam­ eron and the Parsons estate, for the generous gift of the Wilkinson typescript. Thanks are due to Richard W. Gernon ix° o.T.o., who bequeathed a typescript of the commentaries to the Order on his death. Dr. W. F. Ryan of the Warburg Institute, University of London, kindly made available early typescripts in the Yorke Col­ lection that clarified many corrupted readings. I am very grateful to Andrea Hoehn for facilitating our research in England, and to Clive Harper for making available a copy of the 1926 “Extenua­ tion” typescript. The Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin made available another type­ script. Martin P. Starr, J. Daniel Gunther, Richard Kaczynski and Adam Kessler addressed editorial questions, as did the project’s proofreaders Kevin Ascherfeld, Randall Bowyer, and Robin Mathews. Diana Molinari and William E. Heidrick performed the data entry. Samuel Weiser, Inc. kindly provided films of the new photography of the Stèle of Revealing and the ms. of The Book of the Law from the Weiser edition of Crowley’s Magick (Book 4, Parts I-IV). Christopher Hyatt and Nicholas Tharcher of New Falcon Publications deserve thanks for honoring Crowley’s wishes by issuing this edition. For his inspiration I would like to thank Frater Altzba, the founder of 93 Publishing, who first published Crowley’s commentaries over twenty years ago. This popular edition was dear to Crowley’s heart. A full fifty years have passed since it was first prepared for publication. In the intervening years the commentaries have retained all of their philosophical depth, and gained increasing relevance as they anticipated so many of the burning social issues of our times. Love is the law, love under will. Hymenaeus Beta Frater Superior, O.T.O.
