Magic squares

The essays that appear in this book originally appeared in The Monist between 1905 and 1916.They were written by W.S. Andrews, other contributors include and such others as Harry A. Sayles, Dr. C. Planck, H.M. Kingsley, D.F. Savage, C.A. Browne, L.S. Frierson, and Paul Carus, and they cover topics such as magic squares, magic cubes, the Franklin squares, magics and Pythagorean numbers, the theory of reversions, magic circles, spheres, and stars, and magic octahedroids, among other things.

In the introduction, Paul Carus wrote, "There is no science that teaches the harmonies of nature more clearly than mathematics, and the magic squares are like a mirror which reflects the symmetry of the divine norm immanent in all things, in the immeasurable immensity of the cosmos and in the construction of the atom not less than in the mysterious depths of the human mind."
