The gift of understanding : a second series of essays | Prentice Mulford |Intro by† Arthur Edward Waite | 1916 | Third Impression | London William Rider & Son, Limited |†Prentice Mulford was once described as a thinking man, not a reading man. His insights into the mysteries surrounding humanity derived from firsthand thought and experience, not from books. On such age-old topics as marriage, memory, justice, the power of the mind, and even the necessity of riches (all found in this collection), Mulford’s attempts to understand our transcendental and physical natures were intuitive and sympathetic, not ordered and logical.

This very human quality, along with an unrelenting optimism and faith in man’s goodness, lend a freshness and vitality to his work that transcend era. This is self-help for the soul, mind, and body.
