No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Original publisher's leaflet printed in black ink on light beige paper. No date, circa 1927-1930s. 3 1/4" x 6." One leaf of paper printed on front and back. Leaflet is very clean and intact except for light age toning, slight wrinkling, a horizontal fold line at center, and four small closed tears at the edges (two measuring 1/4" on right edge from front and two at top and bottom edges each measuring 3/8"). A Very Good copy. This is a promotional leaflet advertising a free copy of The Secret Heritage, a book published by the Rosicrucians of the Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis (AMORC), also known as the Rosicrucian Order. The Secret Heritage is a self-help book that is meant to help one discover their path and happiness in life. This particular ad references the Rosicrucians of Rosicrucian Park, San Jose, California. AMORC is the largest Rosicrucian organization in the world. Rosicrucianism is a spiritual and cultural esoteric movement that first made its appearance in seventeenth-century Europe. Many Rosicrucians state that the principles and tenets of Rosicrucianism can be traced to a number of cultures and movements including ancient Egypt, Brahmanism, the Pythagoreans, the Arabs, and Persia. Rosicrucian Park is the headquarters of AMORC's English Grand Lodge of the Americas. It was established in 1927 by Harvey Spencer Lewis. The park still stands to this day and the following have since been constructed on the property: the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum (1932), the Planetarium (1936), and a research library (1939).

Scarce original pictorial wrapper, mdoerate shelf wear, rub, discoloration; clipped, protected in new clear sleeve. Rare near fine early original in very good wrapper. From front wrapper panel: "Though Divinity seems so far removed, Its image in man remains as a witness before men. To the chemist, the human body is a laboratory. To the jurist, the embodiment of abiding law. To the poet, rhythm in action. To the mathematician, crystallized geometry. To the theologian, the living temple of the living God. To the physician, the garment of life. To the scientist, the unsolvable enigma. To the philosopher, the image of eternal verities." Presented here are "Gems of Thought in Occult Anatomy by Manly Palmer Hall. From front flap: "If, as the Author says, Plato enriched by his philosophic vision, the modern is impoverish by his unbelief. Here is a book that maintains that all facts must answers to the question, Why? Not how, when, or what. Why, in no other sense than why. Science is not based upon facts, but upon observation, experiment, logic, reason, and opinion - until 'why' has been established. Science has not been fair, just, nor equitable in it examination of metaphysics. It has not been 'scientific' in its examination. It has reasoned from prejudices rather than from available day. Opinions may be intriguing, but they demonstrate nothing; they neither prove nor disprove anything. Mysticism is not a vagary; it is a distinct department of learning which, if given proper consideration and opportunity, could make a definite contribution to normalcy and well being. And so, a book on occult anatomy. Convinced of immortality, the sages of antiquity viewed the human body not as the man but the house of the man. The science of the soul occupied first place. The masters of three Academies often pointed out some analogy in human organ or function in justifying an abstract conclusion. Hitherto the 'anatomy of the philosophers' has existed only in a fragmentary state, eluding the casual reader. Now are gathered and reduced to order brilliant gems of though an engrossing theme, the mystic lore of the human body." Features detailed thirty-four page descriptive index. 422 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.

First Edition
8vo (155 x 92mm.) 14,[2(blank)]p., device on title-page, decorative paper wrappers Frankfurt: Johann Bringer, 1616 First edition of this very rare and early Rosicrucian tract known in only four copies, none of which are located outside Germany and the Netherlands. This little tract, dated 3 December 1615, which the author claims, he has been prevented from writing over many years by pressure of business, is addressed to the Rosicrucian brotherhood, quotes frequently from Palingenius Zodiacus vitae, and makes reference to one or two contemporary works, the Chymische Hochzeit published by Zetzner in Strasbourg in 1616, and Julius Sperber (d. 1616) 'de summo huius & futurae vitae thesauro' (an adaptation perhaps of a German title). On p. 12 the author tells us that he is a from a wealthy family, a citizen of a very famous city located on the foremost river of Europe, aged 57, active in the state's business, a widower with several sons, one of whom, now fifteen is a fine linguist (here the tetragrammaton is printed in Hebrew). He further says that his name is taken from the designation of ' grace & peace', but, that if people guess at what it is, he beseeches them not to reveal it. The work is commonly attributed to Friedrich Grick of Altdorf, but his pseudonym is Eirenaios Agnostos, not the name found in this pamphlet, and he is said to have attacked the Rosicrucians. This attribution seems unlikely given the warm tone towards them here adopted, unless it is meant ironically. If this is by Grick, then it is his earliest work, most of his titles dating from a few years later. In the catalogue Cimelia Rhodostaurotica, Amsterdam, 1995, no. 108, the authorship is given to Johannes Friedrich Jung of Strasbourg.
