"It is beyond question that the unknown writer of this work was both a scholar and a mystic. That he had studied the Râmâyana from the original texts and was a master of Vedântic psychology is amply manifested; that he was a mystic himself and spoke of things that were realities to him and not mere empty speculations, is evident to every earnest student of Indian theosophical literature. In no other western publication have the three 'states' of man's consciousness been so strikingly and so intelligibly set forth as by our author. In this work the mystic and student of yoga will recognise many a home truth but slightly veiled, and many an important secret wholly disclosed."

"Not since 1804 has any English version of the two famous Pythagorean treatises included in this volume appeared in book form. Of their importance it is sufficient to state that they have been justly held in the highest esteem by Mystics from an early period to the present time. This has also been the case with the Somnium Scipionis or Vision of Scipio, Cicero's famous essay. L. O.'s able essay will be found most valuable to students."
