“His study is distinguished by moderation and justice, high intent and
reverent spirit. It has a peculiar significance for us, because, in a
generation when many are following will-o’-the-wisps and garish lights,
it studies classic and enduring experiences; and because it reminds us
of a mystic strain which is our inheritance, and, I hope, our genius,
and which in time will have its own poets, philosophers, and prophets.
If this comes not even in some measure in our own day, it will still be
splendid to have prepared the way and made straight the path by some
such notable achievement as this study in mystical religion by Professor
Jones.”—_Boston Transcript._

his earlier writings on the history of Quakerism and other phases of
mystical religion, and this new work on some of the more obscure

Reformation, and in succeeding chapters he deals with the following

Inward Word—Bunderlein and Entfelder; IV. Sebastian Franck; V. Caesar
Schwenckfeld; VI. Sebastian Castello; VII. Coornhert and the
Collegiants—A Movement for Spiritual Religion in Holland; VIII.

Spirit; X. Boehme’s Universe; XI. Boehme’s “Way of Salvation”; XII.
Boehme’s Influence in England; XIII. Early English Interpreters—John
Everard and Giles Randall, and others; XIV. Spiritual Religion in High
Places—Rous, Vane, and Sterry; XV. Benjamin Whichcote, the First of the
“Latitude Men”; XVI. John Smith, Platonist; XVII. The Spiritual Poets of
