DEDICATION

...this gratitude produced an effect. Stirred by it, I decided that I must not rest content with only a private exchange of letters. Instead, I felt I must show the entire literary world what kind of man, and how great a man, ALEXANDER FABIAN is. I decided to make this manifest through this present little work on the triple Magnet Kircher refers to his theory of the "Triple Magnet," which categorizes magnetic forces into the mineral, the biological/animal, and the spiritual or divine realms. My goal is that this book might reveal that triple and unbreakable knot of magnetism by which I have bound you to me, and you have bound me to yourself so powerfully. Let this work serve as a perennial and immortal testimony of the friendship, the bond, and the love that has begun between us.
