This particular work is a short introductory text that contains some now-amusing allusions to magnetism and telegraphy within the context of comparisons to the spiritual world, as well as a slew of philosophical lore. For the modern occultist it is more useful for some techniques used for mindfulness such as those involving breathing and fasting.It contains applause for both the Christian and Hindu (common at the time) and is broken into a series of- essentially- sample letters from master to student. It is not immediately clear if the author (about whom little can be gleaned) was a Theosophist or a self proclaimed occultist independently.
