The subject of our past is of profound interest, but errors in detail may consist with a helpful grasp of main truths and principles. I have spared no pains to arrive at facts and avoid mistakes, but accuracy of such questions is more a question of power than of care.

"Suddenly the thought came into my mind: 'What if this be but hallucination...' -from "The Arabian Nights in New York" The philosophical discipline of theosophy enjoyed a flowering in the late 19th century, a spiritual reaction to the materialism aggressive scientific exploration and the newly ascendant corporate culture seemed to be promoting. In 1910, Claude Bragdon published this overview of the roots of theosophy, and it remains an important document of this influential movement, key reading for anyone interested in the origins and aims of early New Age thought. Though known primarily as an architect and, later, as a stage designer, Bragdon dabbled in mysticism, and brings his well-deserved renown as a delightful, charming writer to this little volume. Other works by Bragdon available from Cosimo Classics: More Lives Than One, The Beautiful Necessity, Architecture and Democracy, and A Primer of Higher Space (The Fourth Dimension). American architect, stage designer, and writer CLAUDE FAYETTE BRAGDON (1866-1946) helped found the Rochester Architectural Club, in the city where he made his greatest mark as a building designer with structures including Rochester Central Station, Rochester Institute of Technology, and the First Universalist Church; he also designed Peterborough Bridge in Ontario. In later life, Bragdon worked on Broadway as scenic designer for 1930s productions of Cyrano de Bergerac and Hamlet, among others.

This volume is divided into five sections, the first a series of articles introducing theosophical concepts which Judge wrote for 'Kate Field's Washington' under the title "Echoes from the Orient". Sections 2-4 contain tracts and pamphlets issued by Judge including his highly-esteemed "Epitome of Theosophy" as well as articles in newspapers and journals other than those in the first two volumes, and miscellanea (extracts, undated articles, etc.). The fifth and largest section, comprising nearly half the volume, is devoted to 'Suggestions and Aids' issued to students of the Eastern School of Theosophy, founded by H P B with Judge's assistance in 1888. These papers deal with matters more directly pertinent to theosophists, as well as with the core purposes of the Theosophical Society and its founders, the Mahatmas. Whatever the subject, Judge's writing is invariably down to earth, cutting right through rigid thinking and the nonsense of pseudo-occultism. It is refreshing to read clear, simply-worded sentences free of the misty sweetness and light or clever but vague language that characterises much new-age literature today. As straightforward as Judge is, his perspective is clearly rooted in a larger philosophic background, oriented towards universal brotherhood, innate human dignity, and the inestimable worth of altruistic motive and service. Never condescending, but always the Esotericist, a student/teacher with whom we can easily relate, Judge transmits the perennial wisdom in a way that encourages us to broaden our views and thus to see in everyone and everything vibrant expressions of the divine force permeating the universe.
