We trust that the many students to whom we now offer this little work will derive as much benefit from the study of its pages as have the many who have gone on before, treading the same Path to Mastery throughout the centuries that have passed since the times of HERMES TRISMEGISTUS the Master of Masters the Great-Great. The Kybalion.
Rugged Hulsen, this very season, who commands in Freyberg Country, alleviates the poor village of Hainichen from certain official inflictions, and bids the poor people say "It is because Gellert was born among you!" Plainly the Trismegistus of mankind at that date: who is now, as usual, become a surprising Trismegistus to the new generations!

For what can be more acceptable than this Asse of Gold indeed.
If my wife will but venture him brother Toby, Trismegistus shall be dress'd and brought down to us, whilst you and I are getting our breakfasts together. Go, tell Susannah, Obadiah, to step here.
