“These letters are really ‘the letters of a traveller in a strange country. They record his impressions, often his mistakes, sometimes perhaps his provincial prejudices; but at least they are not a re-hash of what somebody else has said.’ It is obvious that the writer took over with him to the other side the keen intelligence of an investigator as well as the impartiality of a judicial mind, which his occupation on earth had been the best means of cultivating. I question if the same can be said of any previous communication from the other world, and it is this very fact that renders ‘Letters from a Living Dead Man’ so original and supremely absorbing. Compared with it, all previous records seem trivial and commonplace.”—Ralph Shirley in the Occult Review.
“Of all the communications we have seen purporting to come from beyond the veil, these are quite the most entertaining and from the hypothesis of their authenticity some of the most instructive. They give a vivid glimpse into life on the other side and some idea of the laws of nature on that plane.... With all their romance they are a quite serious contribution to the life beyond death.”—The Christian Commonwealth.
“These letters are of enthralling interest, and open up many vistas of thought and speculation.”—Oxford Chronicle.
“Whatever the reader’s personal opinion may be, he cannot do amiss in studying this remarkable series of letters, all intensely interesting.”—The Daily Citizen.

COSMIC SYMBOLISM. By “Sepharial.” Crown 8vo, ornamental cloth gilt, 304 pp. 3s. 6d. net.
The author of this new work on the symbology of the universe has taken as the basis of his argument that “nothing can be accepted as true which is not reducible to a mathematical statement; ... a tacit confession of faith in the law of numerical ratios, the geometry of the universe which underlies all revelation.” Consequently he translates a number of occult concepts into terms of geometrical science, shows the application of the principles of symbolism to a system of ethics and philosophy, and gives rules for the practical use of this universal symbolism in daily life.
A MANUAL OF OCCULTISM. A Complete Exposition of the Occult Arts and Sciences by “Sepharial.” With numerous diagrams and illustrations. 368 pp., handsomely bound in cloth gilt. Gilt tops. Crown 8vo. 6s. net.
