Klein, Sydney Turner: Science and the Infinite: or, through a Window in the Blank Wall. London: William Rider 1912, reprinted 1917.

Another early CP release (2003), previously posted on one of my Geocities pages. This little volume comprises a series of meditations on connections between then-recent scientific theories and mystical ideas particularly as represented by the western theosophical schools of the late nineteenth century; it was resonably favourably reviewed in The Equinox and was placed on the "serious study" section of the Curriculum of A.'.A.'. in 1919. Klein followed this one up in 1917 with From the Watch Tower, or Spiritual Discernment and Way of Attainment in 1924 (the title of the last possibly suggested by remarks in the Equinox reviews of the earlier volumes).

The somewhat rough presentation of this e-text characterised many of my earlier productions; but right now I have better things to do than give it a makeover.
