With a natural genius for the things of the spirit, he also exhibited many of the characteristics of the psychic, the seer, and the metaphysician; and his influence on philosophy has been at least as great as his influence on religious mysticism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
