The Law is for All
one-page “Class A” inspired Comment, received by Crowley in 
1925, has been added.
I wish to thank my friend Oliver Marlow Wilkinson, Louis 
Wilkinson’s son, for his encouragement and support in seeing his 
father’s work completed. Thanks are also due to Jack Parsons’ 
widow, the late Cameron, and Scott Hobbs, executor for Cam­
eron and the Parsons estate, for the generous gift of the Wilkinson 
typescript. Thanks are due to Richard W. Gernon ix° o.T.o., 
who bequeathed a typescript of the commentaries to the Order on 
his death. Dr. W. F. Ryan of the Warburg Institute, University of 
London, kindly made available early typescripts in the Yorke Col­
lection that clarified many corrupted readings. I am very grateful 
to Andrea Hoehn for facilitating our research in England, and to 
Clive Harper for making available a copy of the 1926 “Extenua­
tion” typescript. The Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center 
at the University of Texas at Austin made available another type­
script. Martin P. Starr, J. Daniel Gunther, Richard Kaczynski and 
Adam Kessler addressed editorial questions, as did the project’s 
proofreaders Kevin Ascherfeld, Randall Bowyer, and Robin 
Mathews. Diana Molinari and William E. Heidrick performed the 
data entry. Samuel Weiser, Inc. kindly provided films of the new 
photography of the Stèle of Revealing and the ms. of The Book 
of the Law from the Weiser edition of Crowley’s Magick (Book 4, 
Parts I-IV). Christopher Hyatt and Nicholas Tharcher of New 
Falcon Publications deserve thanks for honoring Crowley’s wishes 
by issuing this edition. For his inspiration I would like to thank 
Frater Altzba, the founder of 93 Publishing, who first published 
Crowley’s commentaries over twenty years ago.
This popular edition was dear to Crowley’s heart. A full fifty 
years have passed since it was first prepared for publication. In 
the intervening years the commentaries have retained all of their 
philosophical depth, and gained increasing relevance as they 
anticipated so many of the burning social issues of our times.
Love is the law, love under will.
