1After the first edition published in 1889 The Light of Egypt went through five editions and was published by Henry Wagner M.D. under the name of The Astro-Philosophical Publishing Company, Denver, Colorado. It has been out of print for about sixty years. It is hoped this new edition will receive as hearty a welcome as the early editions. Please note Mr. Burgoyne’s style of expression. This book is not intended as a literary master-piece, a product of the mind, but is an earnest attempt to clearly and truthfully express spiritual thought and ideas in our human language. To change his style is to change the intended thought. He was an Initiate of Esoteric Masonry and a natural bom mystic who was able to understand and verify the truth he teaches in all of his writings; “Omnia Vincit Veritas” was the life motto of Thomas H. Burgoyne (Zanoni). vii gitized by Google CONTENTS The Science of the Soul and the Stars in Two Parts Preface .
