Complete and unabridged, with 59 full-page plates by Johan Christian Dahl, J. M. W. Turner and Hans Heyerdahl. A life of Christ said to have been read from the Akashic records - the missing years in India, Persia and Egypt among the sages. Levi Dowling spent forty years on it; it became a founding text of the New Age movement and is still in print a century later. This edition is bound with a gallery of 59 plates of painting, among them works by Vasily Vereshchagin, J. M. W. Turner and John Harris, dating from 1530 to 1906.
