Introduction
Manly Palmer Hall (18 March 1901 - 29 August 1990) was a Canadian-born philosopher known for his insight and elaboration into ancient mysteries and historical figures. By age 27 he'd published the encyclopedic volume entitled The Secret Teachings of All Ages, the first of many of similar works. Manly P. Hall was also an accomplished speaker, having delivered thousands of lectures on mysticism, morality, and the human condition.
Collected here are various excerpts and references from his career. This by no means a complete index.
