THE HERMETIC WORKS. 



The Virgin of the World 



OF 



Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus. 



Now FIRST RENDERED INTO ENGLISH, WITH ESSAY, 

 INTRODUCTIONS, AND NOTES, 



BY DR ANNA KINGSFORD AND EDWARD MAITLAND, 



AUTHORS OF "THE PERFECT WAY." 



Published under the auspices of the Hermetic Society. Essays on "The 

 Hermetic Books," by E. M., and on "The Hermetic System and the 

 Significance of its Present Revival," by A. K. " The Virgin of the World " 

 is followed by " Asclepios on Initiation," the " Definitions of Asclepios," 

 and the " Fragments of Hermes." 



" It will be a most interesting study for every occultist to compare the 

 doctrines of the ancient Hermetic philosophy with the teaching of the 

 Vedantic and Buddhist systems of religious thought. THE FAMOUS BOOKS 

 OF HERMES seem to occupy, with reference to the Egyptian religion, the 

 same position which the Upanishads occupy in Aryan religious literature." 

 Theosophist, November, 1885.

A Word for the Navy. 



BY ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE. 



"Mr Swinburne's new patriotic song, ' A Word for the Navy,' is as fiery 

 in its denunciation of those he believes to be antagonistic to the welfare of the 

 country as was his lyric with which he startled the readers of the Times one 

 morning. " Athenaum. 



The publisher of this poem is also the sole proprietor of the copyright ; it cannot 

 therefore be included in Mr Sivinbume's collected works.
