notice of the right people to be sure of a ready sale.
In its author’s words, it represents ‘an attempt to
systematisealike the data of mysticism and the results
of comparative religion,’ and so far as any book can
succeed in such an attempt, this book does succeed ;
that is to say, it condenses in some sixty pages as

Crowley is as passionately possessed by his theme
as any poet has been. This must ensure a constant
achievement of notable poetry. . . . Mysticism is
Mr. Crowley’s theme. Precisely what species of
mysticism he professes, or rather, for all mysticisms
are fundamentally the same, into what shape of
