An Exposition Of The Pagan Mystery Perpetuated In The Cabala As The Rule Of All The Arts. The author of the present work argues out his case with much precision and a wealth of figures, proving most clearly that the external measurements of almost every ancient temple, the figures of the New Jerusalem, Holy Oblation, and other temples, real and imaginary, reveal the magnitudes of the sun, moon, and other planets, together with the distance of their orbits. And most ingeniously he argues that, as all these calculations were, of necessity, impossible of comprehension to the vulgar, they were typified by symbols, the principal of all these symbols being the cross. Therefore it follows, in his opinion, that the rage of the so-called Reformers of the church was not a blind unreasoning fury, blended with a dislike to beauty, but a reasoning fury against a symbol that they understood. And he remarks, when speaking of the Puritans, whom he most justly stigmatizes as both "ridiculous and ignorant," that it was curious that, having cast away the cross, they should still retain the Christ, as both are one.

This work engages with modern theories and contested ideas in the field, demonstrating StirlingAos adept integration of scientific inquiry with philosophical contemplation. The text is characterized by a clear, methodical style, supported by extensive research and an impressive use of diagrams that elucidate complex concepts, making it not just informative but also visually engaging. Stirling navigates the historical context of astronomy, juxtaposing ancient celestial models with contemporary understandings, thereby enriching the readers grasp of the disciplines evolution. William Stirling, a distinguished figure in the realm of astrophysics, draws upon his rich academic background and extensive fieldwork, which has greatly informed his perspective. His passion for bridging the gap between foundational astronomical principles and cutting-edge theories shines through in his writing. Stirlings earlier experiences working with observatories and his engagement with the scientific community have positioned him uniquely to contextualize his theories within the broader academic discourse. This book is highly recommended for anyone with a thirst for knowledge about the cosmos, from scholars to enthusiasts. StirlingAos insightful analysis invites readers to not only absorb information but to think critically about the universe and our understanding of it, making it a valuable addition to both personal libraries and academic institutions.
