Ernest Yates Loomis (1863 - 1929), an American occultist, author, and publisher (as Ernest Loomis & Co.), was a somewhat mysterious and enigmatic character. He taught and wrote extensively on the occult, though many of his books — like this one — are now extremely hard to find, most notably his "Should Women Obey?". According to the Publisher's Preface, "This book contains some of the deeper principles and truths of occultism." Chapters are: I) Methods of Self-Help, II) Methods of Self-Help Through Self-Trust, (III) Methods of Self-Help Through Self-Knowledge, (IV) Methods of Self-Help Through Self-Culture, (V) A Plan of Self-Culture and Self-Help, (VI) Helps. No jacket issued. Please see our OTHER LISTINGS for more of Loomis' very scarce OCCULT SCIENCE LIBRARY volumes, all first editions!
