DEDICATION
This book was completed in June 1975, exactly 20 years
after I started the work which led to its writing. During the
intervening years I have received help —al) sorts of help and
often on a lavish scale —from fellow students at home and
abroad who shared, in some degree, my vision of a restored
astrology. To them, and to the ideal which inspired us, this
book is gratefully dedicated.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
My indebtedness to others in the writing of this book, and
more particularly in the years of research of which it is the
fruit, is so extensive that it would be quite impossible to ac-
knowledge all the help I have received. Some have contributed
ideas and suggestions, some have helped me to understand
matters which were unfamiliar to me, many have devotcd
countless hours to the extraction and tabulation of astrological
data. Some have been my friends and associates throughout
this work, others have becn more or less birds of passage who
alighted for a time to make their contribution before flying on.
To all these, although I cannot thank them individually, I
have made what amends I can in the Dedication.
In the production of the book itself I am indebted to
E. R. Dewey of The Foundation for thc Study of Cycles for
permission to print the diagram and accompanying table in
Chapter 21, to Colin Bishop and other members of the Astro-
logical Association's Research Section for advice in the writing
of Appendix II, to James Buchanan and Michael Southgate
for drawing the diagrams, to Peggy Lance and Gladys Back-
mann for typing, to Marcy Emmer Graham for the cover
design, to Charles M. Graham for proofreading and indexing,
to Dr. Jim and Betty Williamsen for getting it onto the book-
stands and, above all, to my wife for standing by for all
emergencies and coping so well for so long.
For the Cambridge Circle edition of Harmonics in Astrology,
considerable cditoríal work has been done on the original
manuscript with a view to improving its readability and use-
fulness as a textbook. I am indebted to Dr. Williamsen and
Mr. Graham for this work.
