xiv PREFACE 



scoffed at by the ignorant, his reputation was torn by the 

 dogs of envy and hate, and he was treacherously killed by 

 his enemies. But although his physical body returned 

 to the elements out of which it was formed, his genius 

 still lives ; and as the eyes of the world become better 

 opened to an understanding of spiritual truths, he appears 

 like a star on the mental horizon, whose light is destined 

 to illuminate the world of occult science, and to penetrate 

 deep into the hearts of the coming generation, to warm 

 the soil out of which the science of the coming century 

 will grow.
