E-text prepared by Ruth Hart (ruthhart@twilightoracle.com) Transcriber's note: In the Introduction, I have changed "yet is is a very literal truth" to "yet it is a very literal truth".

Finally, while most of the proper names are capitalized, not all of them are, and I have left the uncapitalized names as they appeared in the original.

In its original form, it was printed in quite large type, double-leaded, and upon paper which "bulked out" the book to quite a thick volume. Some copies have been sold in America, but the price which dealers were compelled to charge for it, in its original shape, prevented the wide circulation that it merited, and which its author undoubtedly desired for it, for it seems to have been a labor of love with him, the interest of the race in his wonderful theories evidently being placed above financial returns by Mr. Leland. Believing that the author's ideas and wishes would be well carried out by the publication of an American edition printed in the usual size type (without the expedient of "double-leading" unusually large type in order to make a large volume), which allows of the book being sold at a price within the reach of all, the publisher has issued this edition along the lines indicated. The present edition is identical with the original English edition with the following exceptions:
