Disposition
Two copies of this work were held by the Philosophical Research Society until the death of Manly Palmer Hall, at which time they were purchased, along with other Rosicrucian manuscripts, by the Getty Museum. They remain in boxes 34 and 35 of the Manly Palmer Hall collection of alchemical manuscripts, 1500-1825, as MS 209 and 210, preserving the manuscript numbering of Ron Charles Hogart's Alchemy, a comprehensive bibliography of the Manly Palmer Hall Collection of books and manuscripts: Including related material on Rosicrucianism and the writings of Jacob Böhme.
The original copy remains in the Library at Troyes, designated as MS 2400.

Famous quotes containing the word disposition:
“We tried pathetic appeals to the wandering waiters, who told us “they are coming, Sir” in a soothing tone—and we tried stern remonstrance, & they then said “they are coming, Sir” in a more injured tone; & after all such appeals they retired into their dens, and hid themselves behind sideboards and dish-covers, still the chops came not. We agreed that of all virtues a waiter can display, that of a retiring disposition is quite the least desirable.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites; in proportion as their love to justice is above their rapacity; in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption; in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“The Englishman’s strong point is his vigorous insularity; that of the American his power of adaptation. Each of these attitudes has its perils. The Englishman stands firmly on his feet, but he who merely does this never advances. The American’s disposition is to step forward even at the risk of a fall.”
—Thomas Wentworth Higginson (1823–1911)
