The philosophy of APOLLONIUS was Platonic- Pythagorean, and would probably be denounced, as obscure and mystical, by the shallow thinkers of the present age. In the main, however, it is by no means so inconsistent with the doctrines and spirit of Christianity, as many of the physiological and psychological speculations of some of the modern schools. APOLLONIUS, indeed, would appear to have acquired very considerable attainments in physics, as well as in psychology and metaphysics, and to 190 AN... HISTORY OF MAGIC, &c. have sedulously cultivated all that mysterious know- ledge which could be obtained by frequenting the temples and studying the processes employed by the priesthood. The more profound inquirers among the ancient MAGI, indeed, appear to have been aware that the development of that spiritual or psychical pheno- menon, which is now called Clairvoyance, lucid vision, second-sight, prophecy, &c. , and the mental actio in distans, although rarely manifested, pro- ceeded from a faculty natural to the human soul, when freed from the obstructing fetters of the material organism, and left free to exercise its own independent energies ; and similar notions have been embraced by many modern philosophers, whose minds have become emancipated from the trammels of all degrading material systems of intellectual science.
