In this extensive work, John Yarker attempts to trace the history of Masonry and Masonic rites through history, proving its legitimacy through seniority and the power of tradition. Yarker establishes the roots of Masonry in a race he calls the Aryans, a catchall phrase to describe an unknown race of conquerors who developed the early human arts, such as stoneworking, metalworking, and agriculture. Yarker then explains how that civilization gave rise to societies of special knowledge, such at the mathematical and philosophical schools in ancient Greece.

Howitt (1792-1879), a well-known writer in his day, published over 50 books in his lifetime, some in collaboration with his wife, writer and translator Mary Howitt. His interest in the supernatural was precipitated by the untimely deaths of two sons.

Napoleon, who was a master of the super-conscious state, used to obtain practically eight hours rest in fifteen minutes by looking intently at a dark spot on the walls of his room.

Lo! is the third published nonfiction work by author Charles Fort (first edition 1931). In it, he details a wide range of unusual phenomena. In the final chapter of the book, he proposes a new cosmology that the earth is stationary in space and surrounded by a solid shell which is (in the book's final words) "...not unthinkably far away." Charles Hoy Fort (August 6, 1874–May 3, 1932) was an American writer and researcher into anomalous phenomena. Today, the terms Fortean and Forteana are used to characterize various such phenomena.

Wild Talents is the fourth and final nonfiction book written by paranormal author Charles Fort, published in 1932. In recounting a wide variety of odd phenomena, Fort largely disregards his previous teleportation theory or at least incorporates it into his new thesis. Rather than a vague "cosmic joker", as he postulated in his earlier books, the responsibility for these occurrences are freak powers that occur in the human mind. These powers cannot be naturally developed, but are there, Fort feels, as a sort of throwback to primeval times.

As evidence, he cites a number of anomalous phenomena, including strange "mirages" of land masses, groups of people, and animals in the skies.
