Author Description

Excerpt from New Measures of the Great Pyramid That which immediately follows is a reprint of the first two pages of the first edition of my book, "Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid," published in 1864; and is the best explanation I can offer now for the formal issue of the present dissertation, or review - written at particular request. "Author of 'The Great Pyramid: Why was it Built and Who Built It?' (in reference to which Lord Neaves, vice-president, in the chair, at the Royal Society, Edinburgh, on the evening of March 21, 1864, said: - 'If these things are only coincidences, they are most extraordinary coincidences; but if they are facts - that is, if the metrical proportions indicated were designedly and purposely established, they form the most remarkable discovery of the age'), this attempt to follow out some of his (J. T.'s)arguments, and to test the truth that is in them, is dedicated by the friend of his latter years and admirer of his true and earnest life.
