Excerpt from Numbers: Their Occult Power and Mystic Virtues

The Secret Doctrine Of H. P. Blavatsky, a work Of erudition containing a vast fund Of archaic doctrine, has supplied me with valuable quotations. If any readers desire a deeper insight into the analogies between numbers and ideas, I refer them in addition to the works Of Eliphaz Levi, Athanasius Kircher, Godfrey Higgins, Michael Maier, and John Heydon I have quoted from each Of these authorities, and Thomas Taylor's Theoretic Arithmetic has supplied me with a great part Of the purely arithmetical notions Of the Pythagoreans, the elucidation of which was mainly due to him. In conclusion, I request my readers.
