From Foreword - No more baffling and perplexing character ever puzzled historians than that mysterious individual who suddenly appeared out of the unknown at the beginning of the eightieth century, and, after flittering through the courts of Europe for a greater part of the century, then disappeared as mysteriously as he first appeared. While he used many names, which he changed to suit the occasion, that most commonly assumed, though as fictitious as the rest, was that of Count Saint-Germain, the alchemical adept who was the marvel of Louis XV's court on the eve of the French Revolution, whose coming he predicted and at which he was present, after his feigned death in 1784.
There is widespread belief among modern occult organizations, as the Theosophical Society and the "I Am: Movement, that Saint-Germain is still alive. According to the Brazilian Theosophical Society, he is now living in the Subterranean World as a member of an advanced civilization that exists there. In this book we shall consider the long life of the mysterious individual. (Description by http-mart)
