PUBLISHER'S PREFACE
About the Book "The original 'International Man of Mystery,' the Count St. Germain, was an
18th century European aristocrat of unknown origin. He had n visible mea ns of su pport, but no lack of resou rces, and moved in h ig socia I circles. He was a renowned conversationalist and a skilled musi ian. He dropped hints that he was centu ries old and cou Id grow d iamo ds. He never ate in public, was ambidextrous, and as far as anyone co Id tell, totally celibate. He served as a backchannel diplomat between Engl nd and France, and may have played some role in Freemasonry. He hob obbed with Marie Antoinette, Catherine the Great, Voltaire, Rousseau, esmer, and Casanova. He dabbled in materials and textile technology as well as alchemy, as did many intellectuals of the time (e.g., Newton). Th se are esta blished historica I facts, docu me nted by the extensive colle tion of contemporary accounts in this book. Less well understood are some of the other stories that have bee about the elusive Count: he always appeared about forty years old, up from time to time after his official death (on February 27th, 178 spot-on, una m biguous prophecies, co uId tra nsmute matte r, and neously teleported to distant locations. This has made him a su interest for students of the esoteric. The Theosophists, (of wh Cooper-Oakley was a founding member), considered St. Germain to ofthe hidden immortals who manipulate history.

to get him to shut up!) A contemporary Parisian comedian rd Gower had a popular routine in which St. Germain told even vagant stories, including having advised Jesus, and some of may have been mixed up with the Count's own tall tales in
popular m mary. Then there are the imposters. Casanova pretended to be him in 176 during a trip to Switzerland. Aleister Crowley toyed with the idea of dis uising himse If as the Cou nt. A menta lIy ill French ma n got a n TV in 1972 an claimed to be St. Germain. So was he hoax perp book, the f for any dis time traveler? A vampire? Secret agent of the Illuminati? Or a tuated by an unrelated series of charlatans? This enjoyable rst biography of St. Germain, is the indispensible starting point ussion of the mysterious Cou nt."

MYSTIC AND PHILOSOPHER
E was, perhaps, one of the greatest philosophers who ever lived. The friend of humanity, wishing for money only that he might give to the poor, a friend to animals, his heart was concerned only with happiness of others.v-Mernoires de Mon Temps, p. 135. S. A. LE L NDGRAVE CHARLES, PRINCE DE HESSE.(Copenhagen, 1861.) D th H a RING the last quarter of every hundred years se Masters, of whom I have spoken, to help on manity. Towards the close of each century you outpou ring or upheava I of spiritua lity--or caII it an attempt is made by the spiritual progress of will invariably find that mysticism if you prefe r--
h s taken place. Some one or more persons have appeared in the world as th ir agents, and a greater or less amount of occult knowledge or teaching h s been given out.--The Key to Theosophy (p. 194). H. P. BLAVATSKY T E Comte de St. Germain was certainly the greatest E rope has seen during the last centuries.--Theosophical B VATSKY. Oriental Adept Glossary, H. P.
ONG the strange mysterious beings, with which the eighteenth century w s so richly dowered, no one has commanded more universal comment a d attention than the mystic who was known by the name of the Comte d St. Germain. A hero of romance; a charlatan; a swindler and an a venturer; rich and varied were the names that showered freely upon hi. Hated by the ma ny, loved and revere nced by the few, time has not yet Ii ed the veil which screened his true mission from the vulgar speculators of the period. Then, as now, the occultist was dubbed charlatan by the ig orant; only some men and women here and there realised the power of w ich he stood possessed. The friend and councillor of kings and princes, a enemy to min isters who were ski lied in deceptio n, he brought h is great knowledge to help the West, to stave off in some small measure the storm cI uds that were gathering so thickly around some nations. Alas! his words of warning fell on deafened ears, and his advice went all unheeded.

Looking back from this distance of ime it will be of interest to many students of mysticism to trace the lif , so fa r as it may yet be told, of th is great occultist. Sketches are to be ound here and there from various writers, mostly antagonistic, but no oherent detailed account of his life has yet appeared. This is very largely owing to the fact that the most interesting and important work, don by M. de St. Germain, lies buried in the secret archives of many princely nd noble families. With this fact we have become acquainted during the areful investigations which we have been making on the subject. Where t e archives are situated we have also learned, but we have not yet in all cases received permission to make the necessa ry resea rch es. It must be borne in mind that the C mte de St. Germain, alchemist and mystic, does not belong to the Fren h family of St. Germain, from which descended Count Robert de St. Ger ain; the latter was born in the year 1708, at Lons-Ie-Sa uInie r, was first a Jesu it, and e nte red late r in tu rn the French, Palatine, and Russian military services; he became Danish Minister of War under Count Struensee, then e-entered the French service, and at the beginning of the reign of Louis VI., he tried, as Minister of War, to introduce various changes into the rench army; these raised a violent storm of indignation; he was disgrace by the king and finally died in 1778. He is so often confounded with his m stic and philosophic namesake, that for the sake of clearing up the ignor nce that prevails on the matter it is well to give these brief details, sho ing the difference between the two men; unfortunately the disgrace into hich the soldier fell is but too often attributed to the mystic, to whom we ill now turn our entire attention. That M. de St. Germain had intimate relations with many high persons in various countries is quite undeniabl , the testimony on this point being overwhelming. That such relations hould cause jealousy and unkindly speculation is unfortunately not rare in any century. Let us, however, see what some of these princely friends ay. When questioned by the Herzog Karl August as to the supernatural ge of this mystic, the Landgraf von Hessen-Phillips-Barchfeld replied: "w cannot speak with certainty on that point; the fact is the Cou nt is acq ua inted with deta ils about wh ich on Iy contemporaries of that period coul give us information; it is now the fashion in Cassel to listen respectfu Iy to his statements and not to be astonished at anything. The Count i known not to be an importunate sycophant; he is a man of good socie y to whom all are pleased to attach themselves .... He at all events stan s in close relation with many men of

ar curiosity; thus, for instance, we have the Duc de Medici travelling in years 1698 and 1700 under the name of the Conte di Siena. The Graf rcolini, when he went from Dresden to Leipzig to meet M. de St. ma in, adopted anoth er na me. The Kur-Prinz Fried rich-Ch ristia n von
Sa hsen travelled in Ita Iy from 1738 to 1740, under the na me Comte La sitz. Nearly all the members of the royal families in every country, du ing the last century, and even in this, adopted the same practice; but when M. de St. Germain did so, we have all the small writers of that period an later calling him an adventurer and a charlatan for what appears to ha e been, practically, a custom ofthe time. Le us now make a list of these names and titles, bearing in mind that they co er a period of ti me dating from 1710 to 1822. The first date is mentio rei Ge ag int ed by Baron de Gleiche n, who says: "I have hea rd Ramea u and an old tive of a French ambassador at Ven ice testify to having known M. de St. ma in in 1710, whe n he had the appea ra nce of a ma n of fifty yea rs of ." 1 The second date is mentioned by Mme. d' Ad herna r in her most resting Souvenirs sur Marie Antoinette. 2 During this time we have M.
de St. Germa in as the Ma rq uis de Montferrat, Comte Bella ma rre or Ayma r at Venice, Chevalier Schoening at Pisa, Chevalier Weldon at Milan and Lei zig, Comte Soltikoff at Genoa and Leghorn, Graf Tzarogy at Schwalbach an Triesdorf, Prinz Ragoczy at Dresden, and Comte de St. Germain at Paris, th Hague, London, and St. Petersburg. No doubt all these varied changes ga e ample scope and much material for curious speculations. A ew words may fitly here be said about his personal appearance and ed cation. From one contemporary writer we get the following sketch:-"H looked about fifty, is neither stout nor thin, has a fine intellectual co ntenance, dresses very simply, but with taste; he wears the finest diamonds on snuff-box, watch and buckles. Much of the mystery with which he is surrounded is owing to his princely liberality." Another writer, who knew him when at Anspach, says: "He always dined alone and very si ply; his wants were extremely few; it was impossible while at Anspach to ersuade him to dine at the Prin ce 's ta ble."

st universally accorded that he had a charming grace and courtliness f manner. He displayed, moreover, in society, a great variety of gifts, playe several musical instruments excellently, and sometimes showed fa ilities and powers which bordered on the mysterious and incomprehe sible. For example, one day he had dictated to him the first twenty vers s of a poem, and wrote them simultaneously with both hands on two sep rate sheets of paper--no one present could distinguish one sheet from he other.
In order to arrive at some orderly sequence, it will be well to divide our material int three parts:-i. Theories bout his birth and character, which we h ve briefly noticed. ii. His trave I and knowledge. iii. His politi al and mystical work. Beginning, hen, with our first division, the theories about his birth and nationality re many and various; and different authors, according to their prejudices, race his descent from prince or tax-gatherer, apparently as fancy dictat s. Thus, among other parentages, we find him supposed to be descen ded rom:-1. The wido Z. A Portug 3. An Alsati 4. A tax-gat
