  He turned the page. A warning: Some men may lose themselves in the "labyrinth" of Dee's thought, "torture their minds in incredible ways [and] neglect their everyday affairs"; others, "imposters and mere spectres of men," will rashly deny the truths contained herein. Hm.
  And did he have a dedicatee? He didn't, though it struck him just then for the first time what a unique gift such a dedication made: so rich and flattering, so costless to give.
