This is a reproduction of a portion only of “ Geheime Figuren, etc. and I cannot do better than quote from Mr. G. Redway’s Literary Circular for May, 1888, concerning it: “Why Dr. Hartmann omitted a part of its letterpress we are at a loss to understand. (I believe, also, that a whole part of the plates was omitted as well. — F.L.G.) We do not say this in order to disparage the book, for, indeed, Dr. H.’s publishers deserve all praise for their enterprise ; but the time has gone by when bibliographical jokes of this kind were appreciated, and buyers of valuable works do not like to be trifled with in a matter so important as the history of a printed book.

This work contains a very readable account of the Order and gives a list of about 30 works on the subject. He presents the matter in a popular style to suit modern tastes, especially those of a Theosophical tendency, but it does not exhibit any deep research.

A long chapter is devoted by this author to the subject and contains a deal of interesting matter, although he treats it from a sceptical stand¬ point and devotes no space to their spiritual doctrines and teachings. The work contains a fine Bibliography of works upon — The Ancient Mysteries, The Cabbalah, Illuminati, Freemasonry, Inquisition, Knights Templars, and Mystics.

In this early work the author states in his preface that he is not a Eosie Crucian, but throughout the work appears to have hitched himself on to the title of R.C. without appreciating the true signification thereof. He is very verbose, and loses himself in pages of windy eloquence, for the book is little better than a lot of scribbling without much point. He evidently obtained further and deeper knowledge later on, as his later works evince ; but this early one makes one think of the first plunge in a new bath. He refers, however, on page 41, to Sir Christopher Heydon as the “ Seraphically Illuminated Eosie Crucian and learned Astrologer,” so it is just possible that this was the source where he derived his R.C. teachings from, and which blossomed out to greater advantage in his later writings.

The author again states in the preface to this work that he is no Eosi- crucian, but he first mentions that there are a Society of men known as Eosicrucians. He then goes on delibrately to copy out of the Fama and Confessio pretty well the whole history of C.R., his life and travels, without acknowledging what I presume he must have been aware of — their having already appeared 45 years previously in German. He further refers to the Book M, and states that he himself as having

“ put it into English wearing the title of The Wise Man’s Crown,” and then describes a vault where the sun never shone ; nevertheless, it was enlightened with another sun and an altar in the centre covered over with a plate of brass, &c. ; and further goes on to say (p. xviii) that “there is another vault or habitation of the Brethren in the West of England,” and winds up by saying that, “Thus much at this time and no more am I allowed by my Mistress Euterpe to publish.” I notice that one of the laudatory epistles is signed by Fredk. Talbot, a gen¬ tleman who wrote the author’s life in the work, “The Rosie Crucian Crown.” The book as a whole contains some real knowledge and is one of the most valuable he has written. The bulk of it deals with the subject of numbers and shows indubitably that he passed through the lower grades of the Society.
