EDITORIAL SLOWLY but surely the Equinox climbs from crest to crest of prosperity. Such has been the response to the appeal in our last number that we have been able to put in hand the task of translating the Official In— structions of Α:.A into French, and, if it continues, we shall be able to publish them in every important language of the world within the next two years. Your overworked Editor, too, has been able to take the longest and happiest holiday of his life. River and forest have given him all that nature can ; and this was the least part of his contentment. Moreover, he has been able to prepare, under sublime guidance, a dozen Official Instructions of A.'.A.'., to conclude the great Qabalistic Dictionary of Gematria, and to begin the almost equally important Greek Dic- tionary on similar lines. He has had leisure to produce more plays, sketches, poems, and stories in this last year than he has done in any previous five years of his life. For all this his gratitude is due, and must be expressed, to the self- sacrificing devotion of our sworn sub-editor, Mr Victor ]. Ι. Neuburg. Rarely in all history has so unpleasing an exterior concealed such sterling qualities of heart and brain, such indomitable courage, such inflexibility of will, such loyalty and truth. We are glad to hear that he is about to accept a highly paid post on the staff of our bright little contemporary Tfie Loafing-Glam,and that he who himself sings so musically may be in his turn the means of making others sing. As we observed above, we are causing several extracts from the EquNox to be translated into French. VI A l
