The Book of Lies

Mr. Crowley isa strong and genuine poet, and we have little doubt that he will work up from his appreciation of the Temple of Osiris to that loftier and wider work of the human imagination, the appreciation of the Brixton Chapel.”— Dazly News. Carmen Szeculare. 2:5. 6d. “*. . . The poet foresees the dawn of an era of love, justice, and peace, when the Celtic race shall be restored to their own. There are many strong, nervous lines, and some exalted thoughts.” —Dazly News. Tannhduser. 10s. A remarkable ‘‘ Pilgrim’s Progress” in dramatic form. This work may be regarded as the culmina- tion of the Author’s powers in lyrical and dramatic work : he has apparently said the last word possible on the subject of Regeneration. The Cambridge Review prefers ‘‘the vigour of Mr. Crowley’s ‘ Tannhauser’ to the Attic monotone of the Master (Swinburne).” This rare pamphlet is almost exhausted. As most people know, Berashith is the first word of the book of Genesis, and the essay contains a complete solu- tion of the Problem of Creation, which has baffled all brains less astute and profound than our author’s. The essay has since been reprinted with added references and elucidation of some of the more abstruse propositions ; this edition is, therefore, of interest only as an Z£ditio princeps. Ahab, etc. 55. A companion to ‘‘ Jezebel.” 150 copies printed. ‘Mr. Crowley has amplified the Biblical narra- tive, has given to the savage figure of Ahab some- thing of the nobility of reason that rebels against the tyranny of his fate. There is a modern self- consciousness in this tragic, brooding monologue.” — Manchester Guardian. 120
