EXORDIUM 124 dig book that the whole of my ‘‘ Argonauts ” was written for the shadow-play by which Orpheus wins Eurydice to an interest in mortal joys and sorrows. Also—believe it!—I had proposed a similar play in Book III., to be called ‘* Heracles” or ‘‘ Theseus,” by performance of which Per- sephone should be moved, or Hades over- whelmed. But luckily I was myself overwhelmed first, and it never got a chance at Hades. Book II., then, and its Siamese twin, were written in Hawaii, Japan, China, Ceylon, and South India, where also I began Book …

The main purport of his message was to instruct me to write a book on my system of Mysticism and Magick, to be called Book 4, and told me that by means of this book, I should prevail against public neglect.
