Excerpt from The Mystery of Osiris, or Egyptian Initiation The work before the reader is not an original one, for nearly all that it contains has been in book form before. However, it has not been our desire to produce an original one, for even had it been, it would be impossible, since there is very little original along these lines.

In the year 1859 a work was issued by G. C. Stewart under the title of The Hierophant.
