Our Ceremonial Magic fines down, then, to a series of minute, though of course empirical, physiological experiments, and whoso will carry them through intelligently need not fear the result. I have all the health, and treasure, and logic, I need; I have no time to waste. ‘‘ There is a lion in the way,” For me these practices are useless ; but for the benefit of others less fortunate I give them to the world, together with this explanation of, and apology for, them.

England has been too deeply hypocritical, of course, to do more than “hush things up”; and is pretending “business as usual,” though every pulpit is aquake with the clamour of bat- eyed bishops, squeaking of the awful immorality of everybody but themselves and their choristers.
