with all my heart to witness these remaining translations in their final
and printed form, side by side with the nineteen printed versions which
have already been collected and distributed throughout the world. I would

offered on your behalf.

adjunct to the teaching activities of the friends.

The Guardian hopes that you will be more successful in this, your second
