Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

teaching girls to search for a role model, we need to teach them to

six major steps, giving detailed explanations and tips in easy to
understand terms. The steps are Body Cleanliness, Body
Responsibility, Mentality, Body Protection, Puberty and Body
Safety. Teaching young girls to love, respect and honor their
bodies, at a younger age; can equip them with better life choices
for themselves. Instead of systematically making the search for Mr.
Right the life goal. It will give them a sense of independence,
self worth and teach them thinking techniques that can guide them
through life's hurdles.

Frederick Leigh Gardner (1857-1930) was a well-known British
occultist who belonged to societies including the Hermetic Order of
the Golden Dawn, the Freemasons, the Societas Rosicruciana in
Anglia and the Theosophical Society. Born to spiritualist parents,
Gardner worked as a stockbroker and later became an antiquarian
bookseller. He planned a detailed catalogue of books on the occult
sciences to cover Rosicrucian, astrological, Masonic and alchemical
writings. Volume 4 was never published; the others were printed
privately between 1903 and 1912 in runs of 300 copies each, and
reprinted in 1923. This single-volume reissue of Gardner's
important reference work contains the first editions of all three
volumes, including the now extremely rare Volume 3. Introductions
by Gardner's friend William Wynn Westcott (1848-1925), coroner,
ceremonial magician, and Supreme Magus of the Rosicrucians of
England, respectively cover the history of the Rosicrucians, the
history of astrology, and English Masonic Lodge histories.
