First published in 1927, An Anthology of Mysticism and Mystical Philosophy is a valuable contribution to the literature of mysticism in general, both in its theoretical and experimental aspects.

This book also acts as a supplement to William Kingsland's previous volume Rational Mysticism for it is illustrative of the principles therein set forth.
