PUBLISHER'S NOTICE

The twelTO lesaosB f oRnitig fhis 'volmne were erigtndly
iaaned itt the shape of tnonfhly lessons, knowaa8*'11ie Advanced
Contse in Yogi Hiilosophy and Oriental Occnltism," during a
period of twelve months banning with October 1904, and
ending September 1806. These lessons were intended as a con-
tinnation of, or sequel to "The Footteen I«e88ons tn Y<^ Phil-
osophy and Oriental Occultism" issned daring the previons

We have been urged to print these "Advanced Conise"
lessons in book form, and the present volnme is the resnit

Lessons I to IV, indnsive, consist of an analyds and ex>
planatioa of the little oeenlt wanttal known as "Light on the
Path," and have been highlypraised by lovers of that littlebook
at well as advanced stndents in occultism. They are said to be
superior to ai^irthing ever written along these Vines.

Lessons V to VII, indorive. treat of the several branches
of the Yogi Philosophy indicated by theirtitles. lliey oontaia
very mnch information in a small spatx.

Lessons VIII and IZ, treat of Dharma, the Yogi philosophy
of Ethics or Right Action. Th^ have been favorably received
by stndentsof ethics, and teachers of morality of different schools.
They aSord a common gronnd upon wUch the differing schools
may meet

Lessons X to Xn, indnsive, form a wonderful trio of lessons
upon the higher Yc^ metaphysical and sdentifie tMchiiq^
Their deamess and comprehensiveness is startling, and the
most perplexli^ metaphydcal and sdentifie questions are an-
swered in the simplest manner by the centuries old. Yogi phil-
osophy expressed in modem terms.

We trust that the "Advanced Course" lessons may prove
as popular in book form aa in tbdr original shape.

The author, as usual, dedinea to write a Preface tor the
book, saying that the lessons "should speak for themselves."
