This edition of the original work (which first appeared in Calcutta in 1883) addresses seven paradoxical statements about religious and societal beliefs. It includes the extensive and illuminating footnotes that were added to Levi’s text, some by the Eminent Occultist who seems to have been Madame Blavatsky herself. By the time of his death in 1875, Levi was recognized in Europe and America as the greatest occultist of the 19th century.
