Excerpt from Exotics and Retrospectives Little essays, or rather fantasies, forming the second part of the book, deal with experiences in two hemispheres; but their general title should explain why they have been arranged independ ently of that fact. To any really scientific im agination, the curious analogy existing between certain teachings of evolutional psychology and certain teachings of Eastern faith, particularly the Buddhist doctrine that all sense-life is Karma, and all substance only the phenomenal result of acts and thoughts, - might have suggested some thing much more significant than my cluster of Retrospectives. These are ofl'ered merely as in. Timations of a truth incomparably less difficult to recognize than to define.
