PREFACE

TO THE SECOND EDITION

A which led to its preparation and publication are com-

mented upon elsewhere, we do not require to further

allude to them here.

The present volume deals mostly with the symbolical features of

the Great Pyramid's teachings. The time-measurements, and the

scientific features which confirm them, are only touched upon;

for these will be detailed fully in the later volumes.

We are indebted to the past writers on the pyramids for much

valuable data, especially to the three great pioneers, Col. Howard

Vyse, and Professors C. Piazzi Smyth and W. M. Flinders Petrie,

all of whom we frequently quote. We gratefully acknowledge the

services of Mr. J. A. Hannah, C.E., of Glasgow, who prepared most

of the diagrams ; and of Mr. K. Vaughan, also of Glasgow, for the

beautiful drawings, faithful reproductions of a number of our

photographs.

We desire to express our warm appreciation of the many acts

of kindness accorded us by numerous interested friends,-among

whom we wish specially to mention the late Mr. Wm. Ford of

Bristol, and Mr. C. Kenrick of Edgbaston,-which have greatly

encouraged us in our work.

Lastly, our prayer is that our labours may be blessed by the

Lord, without whom no work shall prosper. May this book be

used to stimulate its readers to still greater activity and zeal in

His service.
