. ;' From want' of space we are compelled to hold over Part U. of" Occult Psychological Plitt/omena," which will be continued in our issue for April. Those of our, readers who peruse the pages of the ~'Medium a1}ll ';Daybreak," will have seen a . leUer'therein, alluding to the Hertllell~ Writings being copyrighted. We think the "would-be " . SQ/e' Reprint Publisher has exhibited undue haste in ma~jng such -an announcement. At any rate, it shows that what he would do himself he naturally expects would be done by others. As the BA'I'H COPYRIGHT does not affect us in the slightest degree, let our readers rest fully assured that our Editions of the He!metic Writings~ therein alluded to, l\'il~ contain no plagiarism from the Editions of the Bath Reprint Publisher.· No I the '!Vriter o( the letter. in question may rest in confident tranquillity, seeing that the Editions he c;laims have not, in our humble opinion at least, reached such a remarkably meritorious altitude, as to lead us even to imagine such a vagary, as' that of transcribing a quotation from them.

Several or our readers: put to us the question : Why are the teachings of Occllltism, Buddhism, and Spiritllalism, contradictory?" To this we reply-TRUTH is eternal' and never contradkts itself. Spiritualists, as wen as others, who may be interested in such studies, will find in the forth· coming columns of our Monthly, the verities of their celebrated faith fLIlly elucidated, and the fallacies and discrepancies or Oriental dogmatic creeds demonstrated. The true sludent of Psychology will hereinlearo· that underlying all the popular Creeds '"and 1sms of the world, ~re portior\s of Truth, which in their sum· total constitute one gtal!.d and harmonious chain of Sacred Science-the ancient Esoteric Wisdom, for it is only th.e perver\ed, dogmatic, aDd bigoted opinions of those varipus creedal adherents, that render. their theories completely antagonistic toone ·another.
THE VEIL OF ISIS.-Part II.'
jj
By ZANONI. "I am Nature, the parent of all things, the sovereign or the Elements, the primary progeny of time, the most exalted or the Deities, the first of the heavenly Gods and Goddesses, whose single Deity the whole world venerates in many forms; with various riles and various names. The Egyptians worship me with proper ceremonies, and call I1U b)' my Ind name, QUEE!oi ISIS."-AI'ULEIUS. . " . "Thou bringest from the earth the CDPdIy Fruits. "{)rphic HyllltliO ARTEMIS (/ltt' MOON). .
