It is possible to write upon this book in a freer manner, without ofi'ence, than upon any other book in the Canon of Scripture, for there is no other book which has caused so much disquiet to theologians, in all ages, as has the “ Revelation of St John the Divine,” and it is but in comparatively recent times that it has been generally accepted as Canonical, and this even by those who admit that they do not understand it; and to such as these th…

THE BIG STICK exalted opinion of the book, and says that it has much of mystery therein; possibly he saw it with the same eyes as Mr Pryse. Even both Luther and Erasmus were doubtful as to its acceptance. The “ Encyclopaedia Britannica " argues that its allusions are οι” the 4th or 5th century. It may be mentioned here, that Dom John Chapman, D.O.S,, has made an examination of the question this year, and argues, with doubtful success, that John the Presbyter and John the Apostle were the same person, and accepts both the Gospel and the Apocalyp…

…. The title of this work justifies itself as the reader reaches the end of the second volume, To the pharmacist it is an extremely useful book, and in a great many instances furnishes information of an interesting character, which the busy man would have difficulty in finding in pharmaceutical history. To the student of the occult it ought to appeal strongly, as the author gives a long list of drugs used in religious ceremonies in difierent ages, and although the present century is so much in advance, we find that the incenses and sweet odours used …

THE BIG STICK The idea that Revelation is a. book 01 Initiation is not altogether new to Freemasons, as the late Dr Geo. Oliver elaborated that view at considerable length, but Mr Pryse’s View is quite a different sort of Initiation; it is the development of the semi—miraculous powers of the Gnosis of Clement, Origen, and the early Christian Church, the birth of the divine three principles, the Crestos, in the human soul. The key to this “Unsealing” is the text itself, in which is found the Nos. 333, 444, 666, 777, 888, 999, ιοοο, as applied to…

To- day (tempted, as Ι suppose, by a heavy bribe, for he is an artist in his way) he gives us this book with a title borrowed, not from Lytton, whom he has obviously not read, but from some eighteenth-hand source, and contents borrowed from his own “ Flames.” Hence a tedious novel, dull novel, unconvincing novel, stupid novel, futile novel, pseudo<occult novel, banal novel, pot-boiling novel, senseless novel, …

… a know- ledge of HermeticGreek, muchmeaningwhich escapes us in the authorised version. In the “ Unsealing,” Mr Pryse goes solid for the book, the whole book, and nothing but the book, as the veritable work of the Apostle John, hence the clergy may extend a welcome hand to it. He quite believes it is a work of the Apostle John, and defends the style; amongst these there are some doubtless who are narrow-minded, but here, and still more prominently in America, there are broad-minded clergy who will welcome the Unsealing. The Freemasons too in th…
