‘Lectures and summarizing sketches of an old, worldwide philosophy given in Brussels in May 1898. Since the lecturer spoke in English, we had to translate his words during his lecture. On request of several attendees of the lecture – in absence of the lecturer – on the basis of notes taken during the lecture – we offer these insufficient renderings. Shortcomings are our responsibility.’ (Interpreter).

Lectures on the constitution of human nature, on the relative length of the base material forming a human, the universal manifestation, reincarnation, Karma and the path of perfection. Text in German. Binding rubbed, ribbon marker cut short. Very light age toning and minor foxing of title page and edges. (51346) $50
