Gurdjieff indicates the purpose of this, the first series of his writings, thus:
To destroy, mercilessly, without any compromises whatsoever, in the mentation and feelings of the reader, the beliefs and views, by centuries rooted in him, about everything existing in the world.

This Two Rivers Press Edition first published in 1993 is an unaltered exact facsimile republication of the work as it was originally prepared for publication by G. Gurdjieff, published by Harcourt, Brace and Company in 1950.
