"The variety of applications of the term 'mysticism' has forced me to restrict myself here to a discussion of that philosophical type of mysticism which concerns itself with questions of ultimate reality. My aim, too, has been to consider this subject in connection with great English writers. I have had, therefore, to exclude, with regret, the literature of America, so rich in mystical thought." - page v. Contents: I. Introduction - Definition of Mysticism; The Early Mystical Writers.
