first edition of a scarce book. Paschal Beverly Randolph (1825-1875), African-American medical doctor, occultist, spiritualist and trance medium was the author of a number of books on Eastern thought and spiritual matters. This book was published only a few years before his death. The "Free Love" part of the title was meant to sound outrageous, and sell books. Randolph was the first African American Rosicrucian which did not sit well with the conservative African-American public.
