My Aunt Zelda gave me a copy and I left it on the flor, where it was 
ruined when my house was flooded.

It is a fact, however, that Einstein was criticized foir entertaining 
psychics when he was at Princeton and that he was a member of the 
Rosicrucians. It is also nnoteworthy that two of his central ideas 
seem to strongly resemble those promulgated by Zoellner, namely his 
notion of the fourth dimensiom, which is central to the Special 
Theory of Relativitty and the space-contortion theory of he existemce 
of matter, which is central to the General Theory. Zoellner's book 
TRANSCENDENTAL PHYSICS, which has been ridiculed by Martin Gardner 
and others, was translated into English by Theosophist CC Massey. 
This is the book im which the 4D theory was discussed, not merely as 
a mathematical oddity but as fact in nature. I am not an Einstein 
scholar and cannot say how relevant all of this is.
