PREFACE
Primarily this book is addressed to Arithmeticians, yet its claims are open to the test of all who can do the simplest sums in addition and subtraction.
They take you to the threshold of further discovery of interesting but astutely hidden arcana only to be disclosed by close and careful research, collection of facts and correct deductions — in a word, by inductive methods.
Fratres Rose^ Crucis.
Note. — While this book has been in preparation we have found other curious things, and some mistakes. These matters are dealt with in an appendix of supplementary notes and errata — F. R. C.
