Since wise people are in the habit of invoking the divinities at
the beginning of any philosophic consideration, this is all the
more necessary on studying that one which is justly named after the
divine Pythagoras. Inasmuch as it emanated from the divinities it
could not be apprehended without their inspiration and assistance.
Besides, its beauty and majesty so surpasses human capacity, that
it cannot be comprehended in one glance. Gradually only can some
details of it be mastered when, under divine guidance we approach
the subject with a quiet mind. Having therefore invoked the divine
guidance, and adapted ourselves and our style to the divine
circumstances, we shall acquiesce in all the suggestions that come
to us. Therefore we shall not begin with any excuses for the long
neglect of this sect, nor by any explanations about its having been
concealed by foreign disciplines, or mystic symbols, nor insist
that it has been obscured by false and spurious writings, nor make
apologies for any special hindrances to its progress. For us it is
sufficient that this is the will of the Gods, which all enable us
to undertake tasks even more arduous than these. Having thus
acknowledged our primary submission to the divinities, our
secondary devotion shall be to the prince and father of this
philosophy as a leader. We shall, however have to begin by a study
of his descent and nationality.

THE Translation of this venerable Piece of Antiquity is undertook
upon a double Score; being designed as well to entertain the
Curiosity of the Learned, as to supply the Defects of the Ignorant.
If the original Language would have been more acceptable to the
one, it would have been less intelligible to the other. I cannot,
without uttering a Falsity, venture to affirm that so singular and
valuable a Piece will be made Public, at least as yet: And in the
mean Time I shall flatter myself, that this little Essay may
contribute in some sort or other to the diversion, if not
Instruction, of People in every Condition of Life. If this is well
received, the other Parts will make their Appearance at proper
Distances of Time. I publish no more at present, because I would
not be thought to impose too much upon any one's Patience; as for
losing my own Labour, I am under no bad Apprehensions about that;
for the Reader cannot reject with a greater Disdain, than I have
translated with Pleasure, the Contents of this Book.
Also a Sketch of the Justly Famous Books known as the Key of
Solomon the King and the Grand Grimore. If you have read the Comte
de Gabalis (published by us) then you will certainly want to read
this book. The Comte de Gabalis is a classic occult work and should
be studied by everyone interested in mystical initiation.

And Other Pythagorean Fragments. "In this small volume an attempt
has been made to gather together the best and most reliable of the
sets of Ethical Verses attributed to the Pythagoreans." "Sorely is
needed in life the strong pure teaching of the elder days, when
learning was held to be richer than wealth, and simplicity finer
than lavishness. None will truly profit by the book who merely
reads it through; a sentence should be taken as a thought to 'sleep
on, ' or as a note to which the day's work should be attuned, and,
deeply meditated upon, should lead to the riches hidden beneath its
words. Such use of the book will make it what it should be-a
sign-post pointing the hidden way to wisdom, which is a treasure
concealed." Contents: Golden Verses of Pythagoras, with Notes from
the Commentaries of Hierocles; Golden Sentences of Democrates;
Pythagorean Sentences of Demophilus; Similitudes of Demophilus, or
the Remedy of Life; Pythagorean Ethical Sentences from Stob us;
Select Sentences of Sextus, the Pythagorean; Pythagorean Sentences
from the Protreptics of Iamblichus; Symbols of Pythagoras, with the
Explanations of Iamblichus.
