- Notes: first edition. "Among exponents of occult color, Edwin Babbitt looms large . . . Babbitt, a major influence upon Theosophy, was an American ''magnetist'' who wove an inextricable web of science and occult speculation . . . The author makes large claims for his chromo-therapy, in which baths of colored light are said to have a broad range of application"--Herbert, A Color Bibliography, pages 19-20.
