THE exhaustion in a few months of the first edition of this work is a most gratifying evidence of the wide interest now taken in Theosophy, but it places the writer under the necessity of issuing a second with but little advantage from adverse or friendly criticism, or from farther thought and study upon that portion of Theosophical Philosophy with which it deals. A few points will be further elucidated, and ambiguous sentences cleared up, and the endeavor made to drop something of purely technical phraseology. The body of the work, however, must remain substantially the same.
