It is offered to such as are willing to accept truth wherever it may be found, and to defend it, even looking popular prejudice straight in the face. It is an attempt to aid the student to detect the vital principles, which underlie the philosophical systems of old. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is written in all sincerity. It is meant to do even justice, and to speak the truth without malice or prejudice alike. But it show neither mercy for enthroned error, nor reverence for usurped authority. It demands for a spoliated past, that credit for its achievements which has been to long withheld. It calls for a restitution of borrowed robes, and the vindication of calumniated but glorious reputations. Toward no form of worship, no religious faith, no scientific hypothesis has its criticism been directed in any other spirit. Men and parties, sects and schools are but the mere ephemera of the world’s day. Truth, high-seated upon its rock of adamant, is alone eternal and supreme.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe believe in no Magic, which transcends the scope and capacity f the human mind, nor in “miracle,” whether divine or diabolical, if such imply a transgression of the laws of nature instituted form all eternity. Nevertheless, we accept the saying of the gifted author of Festus, that the human heart has not yet fully uttered itself, and that we have never attained or even understood the extent of its powers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIs it too much to believe that man should be developing new sensibilities and a closer relation with nature? The logic of evolution must teach as much, if carried to its legitimate conclusions. If, somewhere, in the line of ascent from vegetable or ascidians to the noblest man a soul was evolved, gifted with intellectual qualities, it cannot be unreasonable to infer and believe that a faculty of perception is also growing in man, enabling him to descry facts and truths even beyond our ordinary ken. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet we do not hesitate to accept the assertion of Biffi, that “The essential is forever the same. Whether we cut away the marble inward the hides the statue in the block, or pile stone upon stone outward till the temple is completed our new result is only an old idea. The latest of all the eternities will find it’s destined other half-soul in the earliest.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBEFORE THE VEIL\u003cbr\u003eDogmatic assumptions of modern science and theology\u003cbr\u003eThe Platonic philosophy affords the only middle ground\u003cbr\u003eReview of the ancient philosophical systems\u003cbr\u003eA Syriac manuscript on Simon magus\u003cbr\u003eGlossary of terms used in this book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVolume First\u003cbr\u003eTHE \"INFALLIBILITY\" OF MODERN SCIENCE\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER I\u003cbr\u003eOLD THINGS WITH NEW NAMES\u003cbr\u003eThe Oriental Kabala \u003cbr\u003eAncient traditions supported by modern research\u003cbr\u003eThe progress of mankind marked by cycles\u003cbr\u003eAncient cryptic science\u003cbr\u003ePriceless value of the Vedas \u003cbr\u003eMutilations of the Jewish sacred books in translation  \u003cbr\u003eMagic always regarded as a divine science\u003cbr\u003eAchievements of its adepts and hypotheses of their modern detractors \u003cbr\u003eMan's yearning for immortality \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER II\u003cbr\u003ePHENOMENA AND FORCES\u003cbr\u003eThe servility of society \u003cbr\u003ePrejudice and bigotry of men of science \u003cbr\u003eThey are chased by psychical phenomena \u003cbr\u003eLost arts \u003cbr\u003eThe human will the master-force of forces \u003cbr\u003eSuperficial generalizations of the French savants \u003cbr\u003eMediumistic phenomena, to what attributable \u003cbr\u003eTheir relation to crime \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER III\u003cbr\u003eBLIND LEADERS OF THE BLIND\u003cbr\u003eHuxley's derivation from the Orohippus \u003cbr\u003eComte, his system and disciples \u003cbr\u003eThe London materialists \u003cbr\u003eBorrowed robes \u003cbr\u003eEmanation of the objective universe from the subjective \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER IV\u003cbr\u003eTHEORIES RESPECTING PSYCHIC PHENOMENA\u003cbr\u003eTheory of de Gasparin \u003cbr\u003e[[Theory]] of Thury \u003cbr\u003e[[Theory]] of des Mousseaux, de Mirville \u003cbr\u003e[[Theory]] of Babinet \u003cbr\u003e[[Theory]] of Houdin \u003cbr\u003e[[Theory]] of MM.

We allude to those whose faith in their respective churches is pure and sincere, and those whose sinless lives reflect the glorious example of that Prophet of Nazareth, by whose mouth the spirit of truth spake loudly to humanity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuch there have been at all times. History preserves the names of many as heroes, philosophers, philanthropists, martyrs, and holy men and women; but how many more have lived and died, unknown but to their intimate acquaintance, unblessed but by their humble beneficiaries! These have ennobled Christianity, but would have shed the same luster upon any other faith they might have professed -- for they were higher than their creed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe benevolence of Peter Cooper and Elizabeth Thompson, of America, who are not orthodox Christians, is no less Christ-like than that of the Baroness Angela Burdett-Coutts, of England, who is one. And yet, in comparison with the millions who have been accounted Christians, such have always formed a small minority. They are to be found at this day, in pulpit and pew, in palace and cottage; but the increasing materialism, worldliness and hypocrisy are fast diminishing their proportionate number. Their charity, and simple, child-like faith in the infallibility of their Bible, their dogmas, and their clergy, bring into full activity all the virtues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat are implanted in our common nature. We have personally known such God-fearing priests and clergymen, and we have always avoided debate with them, lest we might be guilty of the cruelty of hurting their feelings; nor would we rob a single layman of his blind confidence, if it alone made possible for him holy living and serene dying. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn analysis of religious beliefs in general, this volume is in particular directed against theological Christianity, the chief opponent of free thought. It contains not one word against the pure teachings of Jesus, but unsparingly denounces their debasement into pernicious ecclesiastical systems that are ruinous to man's faith in his immortality and his God, and subversive of all moral restraint. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe cast our gauntlet at the dogmatic theologians who would enslave both history and science; and especially at the Vatican, whose despotic pretensions have become hateful to the greater portion of enlightened Christendom.
