Mr Huxley quotes from the Chinese Taoist philosopher, from the followers of Buddha and Mohammed, from the Brahmin scripters and from Christian mystics ranging from St John of the Cross to William Law, giving preference to those writings, oten illuminated by genise, which are unfamiliar to the modern reader.
