Beecher aims to l show by analogy what it symbolizes, and in l some particulars he seems to arrive closely at a spiritual interpretation and in others he is rather nebulous. brief notice can convey no adequate idea of the book. Many of it's ideas new and startling such as the pre- existence of in spiritual state, a sort of 1 metempsychosis and the jealousy of the | fallen angels over his pre-eminence in tion.
