This book is an attempt to show, by means of actual investigations, of documentary evidence, and personal knowledge of the inner workings, that this present movement for World Revolution leading to World Domination is but an age-long and culminating, fanatical effort on the part of some Overshadowing Power working through many secret illuminised sects.
Whatever his ideas on the Messianic era and the true destiny of man may have been, the following account of mysticism and magic, written from 1823-25 by Hoëné Wronski, might well be an actual picture of world conditions to-day under the influence of similar mystic and secret societies - far more numerous and influential than the public imagine - through which the Invisible Centre is again seeking to direct and dominate the nations and the world.
