I am impressed with Schrodters neutral and history views. I have used this to check other authors views, and historical things regarding some of the concepts and practices. While i must agree with another reviewers thoughts that this was quite dry, i would equate it largely to a Kenneth Starr report. All things considered a valuable book.
You can tell this is a translation. There is alot of information, but do not read this book late in the evening, you will fall asleep! The style of the book is dry, the presentation is also very dry. It is not very interesting to read, except that it gives alot of valuable information.
While Rosicrucians themselves will find little in this book they dont already know, its an excellent, scholarly approach to the subject of Rosicrucianism. A great many references and pointers toward other texts are included as well as a number of delightful anecdotes which offer insight into the goals of the sincere Rosicrucian student.
