Further on, we give a review by this able writer of Mr. Sinnett’s ''The Occult World''. These passages, as the author tells us, “occur in a letter published by some anonymous members of the Rose-Croix, and are adduced in a translation from the Latin by one of the most famous men of the order, who addressed from the University of Oxford about the period of Oliver Cromwell; to which University the great English Rosicrucian, Robertus De Fluctibus (Robert Flood) also belonged, in the time of James the First and Charles the First.”</ref>}} | {{Style P-Title|THE HERMETIC BRETHREN<ref>Extracted from ''The Rosicrucians'' by Hargrave Jennings, pp. 34-35 (John Camden Hotten, Piccadilly, W.
