It is a book to be carried in the pocket or purse. It is a book to be treasured.
From page 41:
" 25. A doctrine of 'Truth', presenting itself without proof on the bare value of its own nobility, is as disturbing a factor to the majority of men as would be the stranger without name or country. We are afraid of it; it is to us an invasion from an unknown world. And such it is; it is an invasion from another world, from the only real world, the world of Reality . . . "
