SOME MINOR SINGERS.

“Tannhäuser.” By Aleister Crowley. (London: Kegan Paul. 5s. net)

“Many, indeed, are the sacraments, that so the grace of the invisible may by some visible sign be expounded.” These words of St. Bernard are bravely printed on his title-page by Mr. A. E. Waite, who has himself something to say concerning sacraments.

We are not sure that Mr. Aleister Crowley treats his life as a sacrament because we do not understand him. He has written nine other volumes in the same altitudes, and the present seems to be the tenth new sin which he has invented. We heartily admire the last page in the book, devoted to “golden opinions from all sorts of people,” i.e., Press notices.
