LACK OAT FRItl, 40X M'ALLSTER ST., S. F. FOREWORD. It is not necessary for an author in these later days, always to be able to say, he writes of his own knowledge. This has be- come a recognized fact. He may write from another's experience, in whose honesty and reliability, he has as much, and sometimes more confidence, than in his own personal sense. This is the case with this little book, treating of a subject of interest to the whole world, to-day. For six years I have had the MSS. almost ready for the printer. Now, with the encouragement and helping hand of my Dear Comrades of the Hermetic Brotherhood, I am bid to let it-go forth. May it be a help to the ONCE ATLAN- TIAN BORN, wherever they may be. W. P.
