The Real History of the Rosicrucians

The author has essayed to collect the mass of material which exists for the elucidation of this curious problem of European history, and to depict the mysterious brotherhood as they are revealed in their own manifestoes. The work is clear in statement and replete with learning, and affords the first complete' and trustworthy account of the origin, development, and decay of Rosicrucianism ever published in English.

This is the Fellowship Edition including an essay by Rosicrucian critic H. Gruber.
