{{Style S-Small capitals|Fifteen hundred years}} before the birth of Christ, at a period when the Israelites were still in bondage in Egypt, Hermes, a king of that country, and surnamed “Trismegistus,” or thrice great, translated, from engraved tables of stone long before buried in the earth, certain sacred characters said to have been written thereon by the first Hermes, the Egyptian god Thoth or Thuti. The books thus produced were deposited in the temples; and the reputation of the king as a restorer of learning lived in history up to the time of the alchemists of the middle ages, who looked upon him as the “father of chemistry;” while bis name still exists in our word “hermetical,” commonly applied to a seal through which nothing, however subtle, can pass. Hermes’ writings, according to Clemens Alexandrinus, who described them in chronicles written 200 years after Christ, consisted of forty-two books, all of which were held by the Egyptians in the highest veneration. They treated of rules by which the king was to govern, of astronomy, cosmogony, and geography, of {{Style S-HPB SB. Continues on|3-10}}

{{Style S-Small capitals|I Have}} just read in No. 155 of ''The Spiritualist ''the “Researches on the Historical Origin of the Reincarnation Speculations of French Spiritualists,” by the Hon. A. Aksakof. Having no data to bring in argument against the facts mentioned, although they seem to me to be rather partial, I wish to state one fact, which stands in full contradiction to the assertion of M. Aksakof, namely, that through physical mediums the communications are not only more objective, but always contrary to the doctrine of reincarnation. I have many times witnessed physical manifestations, and can positively assert that through them, when the spirits are high and advanced, the doctrine of reincarnation is taught, and often sustained by proofs. The principal thing, and the difficulty, is to deal with good spirits, bad ones being more facile at producing physical manifestations. These latter spirits not only speak against reincarnation, but often deny even the existence of God. As to the “ignoring” of Mr. Home by Allan Kardec, it seems strange to hear it, as his name is mentioned by the latter in his writings as a powerful physical medium ''(The Medium's Book,'' 12th French edition, page 88).
