REVIEWS
Quite right; it is indeed kind of you to have pointed out that even
Gadarene pigs might fly, but are very unlikely birds, and that the said horse is
(after all) not a dragon. Very, very kind of you.
Thank you so much.
And now will you kindly go away ?
THE SUPERSENSUAL Lire. By JACOB BOEHME. Translated by WILLIAM
Law. H.R. Allenson, 1s. net.
This admirable little treatise, now so beautifully and conveniently printed,
deserves a place on every bookshelf. It contains the essential knowledge of
our own community in the Christian—but not too Christian—dialect. I have
bought a dozen copies to give to my friends.
MEISTER ECKHART’S SERMONS. Translated by CLAUDE FIELD, M.A. Same
price and publisher.
Too pedantic and theological to please me, though I daresay he means
well.
THE WORSHIP OF SATAN IN MODERN FRANCE. By ARTHUR LILLIE. Swan
Sonnenschein and Co., 6s.
Arthur Lillie is as convenient as Mrs, Boole from the standpoint of the
poet.
I should add that the catch-penny title is entirely misleading, and has no
discoverable connection with the contents, save those of a short preface,
cribbed, like the title, from Mr. Waite’s “ Devil-Worship in France.”
What a wicked place France is!
THE WoRKSHOP OF RELIGIONS. By ARTHUR LILLIE. Same price and
publisher.
Slobber.
THE PHILOSOPHY AND FUN OF ALGEBRA. By MARY EVEREST BOOLE.
C. W. Daniel, 2s. net.
Mrs. Boole isas convenient as Mr. Lilliefrom the standpoint of the poet. I
am sorry for the children who search this book for fun, and there is as much
philosophy as fun.
The book is as of a superior person stooping to instruct lesser minds, and
so wrapped in the robe of priggishness that the voice is muffled.
THE MESSAGE OF PsyCHIC SCIENCE TO THE WORLD. Same author and
publisher, 3s. 6d. net.
Dull tosh.
