careful to keep track Of such things, devotes long
review to the book From it we learn that eve may
fairly take Mr.. Joachims book representative Of
the profoundest insight into the nature of truth which
has yet been attained in the most esoterc circles Of

Joachim has to confess himself beaten. His notion

carried safely the dangers and difficulties to
which other notions succumbed but the voyage ends
in disaster, disaster which is inevitable. For it
involves the recognition that certain demands both
be and cannot be fuflled.'' ="

p It really looks tho the whole Hegelian line Of
thought had at last committed the happy dispatch
pretty completely"

not the slightest practical bearing" breaks dow1
