What is stated in the Book of Genesis in the form of allegory can be reduced to ideas, and these ideas can be worked out by the guidance of mental laws. In "The Mysteries of Genesis," author Charles Fillmore explains the many symbols found in the Book of Genesis and interprets their meanings, so that anyone can understand and apply the message to their own development, thus providing the most logical key to an understanding of the beginnings of humankind and the universe. Through examination of each chapter and verse of the first book of the Bible, "The Mysteries of Genesis" demystifies the essential spiritual philosophy and reveals its lessons for us today."The Bible veils in its history the march of humankind from innocence and ignorance to a measure of sophistication and understanding. Over all hovers the divine idea of humankind, the perfect-person pattern, the Creator, who is a perpetual source of inspiration and power for every person. Those who seek to know this Creator and its manifestation, Jesus Christ, receive a certain spiritual quickening that opens the inner eye of the soul, and they see beyond the land of shadows into the world of Spirit."

"The Mysteries of Udolpho", by Ann Radcliffe, was published in four volumes on 8 May 1794 by G. G. and J. Robinson of London. The firm paid her £500 for the manuscript. The contract is housed at the University of Virginia Library. Her fourth and most popular novel, The Mysteries of Udolpho follows the fortunes of Emily St. Aubert who suffers, among other misadventures, the death of her father, supernatural terrors in a gloomy castle, and the machinations of an Italian brigand. Often cited as the archetypal Gothic novel, The Mysteries of Udolpho, along with Radcliffe's novel The Romance of the Forest, plays a prominent role in Jane Austen's novel Northanger Abbey, in which an impressionable young woman, after reading Radcliffe's novel, comes to see her friends and acquaintances as Gothic villains and victims with amusing results.(Excerpt from Wikipedia)
