[1] Copyrighted 1892; no date is given to the title page. The 1892 date, however, is false, referring back to the first edition; the present one is almost certainly no earlier than 1900, as shown by the advertisement for the two-volume set of “The Light of Egypt” on the inside of the front cover. The first edition of the second volume did not appear until 1900, as shown below. Also advertised at the rear of the volume is Sarah Grimke’s “Esoteric Lessons”, which was first published in 1900, and two other works that were first published in 1899, corroborating this evidence

About this Book Scan

Carefully reproduced in full colour from our original printing of the stated third edition, which retains only the 1892 date of the original edition internally but was probably reprinted around 1900.

Following the success of his book The Light of Egypt, late 19th century esotericist Thomas Burgoyne wrote a few further books on astrology, including his short book The Language of the Stars: A Primar Course of Lessons in Celestial Dynamics (1892).
