FOREWORD.

WITH the greatly increased interest in the subject of theosophy during the past several decades it is felttimely to reprint this work of some 18th century "theosophers," as representative of a movement activesince the commencement of our racial experience. Even though most serious students today, includingthose in the lay category, approach their researches from the critical point of view, few are aware of thefull scope of theosophic effort put forth in the centuries previous to the 19th, when H.P. Blavatsky oncemore revivified its active dissemination.

Theosophic Correspondence: L C de Saint-Martin & Kirchberger

Old andcrystallized molds of dogmatism were broken through, at least in the field of the best educatedresearchers. The courage of their followers, risking 'burning at the stake' for their heresies, has given us,however, some fruits of their labor that we of the 20th century may benefit by their efforts.In this volume, containing as it does the correspondence between two active "theosophers," the one apupil, will be found the fundamental background of the original
