THE KABALLAH OF THE EGYPTIANS,
AND
Canon of Proportions of the Greeks.
By GEO. HENRY FELT.
All traditions respecting the “Kaballah” of the Egyptians concur in stating that it was a Perfect System of Proportion, and if rediscovered would furnish us with a Complete Key to all the Works of Art in antiquity, and of Nature itself; that it would elucidate the Origin of Language, written or spoken, hieroglyphic or figurative, thus showing the hidden and true meaning of the Old and New Testaments.
The Grecian Canon was this system of proportion brought from Egypt by Grecian sculptors and architects, about B. C. 350, by which they fashioned their unequalled statues of the human figure, and their architectural masterpieces.
