Bibliography
Because my (Author) own self purpose is to present my writings to the general reader, I have dispensed with copious footnotes to this, as a Select Bibliography. Where sources obviously need crediting, I have done so within the body of the text(s). The following bibliography consists of a mixture of firsthand and secondary material I have compiled during my studies. They are listed here, so that the curious minded reader may cross-reference my findings and with that of other authors.
