war�察�with all its calamities�察�was deemed impossible�察� a state in which the 

freedom of all and each was secured to the uttermost degree�察�without one 

of those animosities which make freedom in the upper world depend on 

the perpetual strife of hostile parties。         Here the corruption which debases 

democracies   was   as   unknown   as   the   discontents   which   undermine   the 

thrones   of   monarchies。      Equality  here   was   not   a   name�察  �it   was   a   reality。 

Riches were not persecuted�察�because they were not envied。                     Here those 

problems connected with the labours of a working class�察�hitherto insoluble 

above   ground�察  �and   above   ground   conducing   to   such   bitterness   between 

classes�察  �were   solved   by   a   process   the   simplest�察�   a   distinct   and   separate 

working      class  was    dispensed    with   altogether。    Mechanical       inventions�察�

constructed on the principles that baffled my research to ascertain�察�worked 

by    an   agency    infinitely   more    powerful     and    infinitely   more    easy   of

management than aught we have yet extracted from electricity or steam�察�

with   the   aid   of   children   whose   strength   was   never   overtasked�察  �but   who 

loved their employment as sport and pastime�察�sufficed to create a Public´ 

wealth so devoted to the general use that not a grumbler was ever heard of。 

The vices that rot our cities here had no footing。               Amusements abounded�察�

but they were all innocent。           No merry´makings conduced to intoxication�察�

to   riot�察  �to   disease。 Love   existed�察  �and   was   143ardent   in   pursuit�察  �but   its 

object�察   �once    secured�察    �was   faithful。    The     adulterer�察  �the   profligate�察   �the 

harlot�察�were phenomena so unknown in this commonwealth�察�that even to 

find   the   words   by   which   they   were   designated   one   would   have   had   to 

search     throughout      an  obsolete     literature   composed      thousands      of  years 

before。     They who have been students of theoretical philosophies above 

ground�察�know  that all   these   strange departures   from  civilised life   do but 

realise   ideas   which   have   been   broached�察  �canvassed�察  �ridiculed�察  �contested 

for�察  �sometimes   partially   tried�察  �and   still   put   forth   in   fantastic   books�察  �but 

have never come to practical result。             Nor were these all the steps towards 

theoretical   perfectibility   which   this   community   had   made。            It   had   been 

the sober belief of Descartes that the life of man could be prolonged�察�not�察�

indeed�察�on this earth�察�to eternal duration�察�but to what he called the age of 

the patriarchs�察�and modestly defined to be from 100 to 150 years average 

length。     Well�察�even this dream of sages was here fulfilled´ nay�察�more than 

fulfilled�察�for the vigour of middle life was preserved even after the term of 

a   century     was   passed。     With     this   longevity     was   combined       a  greater 

blessing than itself´ that of continuous health。              Such diseases as befell the 

race   were   removed   with   ease   by   scientific   applications   of   that   agency´ 

life´giving as life´destroying´ which is inherent in vril。                Even this idea is 

not   unknown       above   ground�察  �though   it   has   generally   been   confined   to 

enthusiasts      or  charlatans�察    �and   emanates      from    confused      notions    about 

mesmerism�察       �odic    force�察  �&c。    Passing     by   such    trivial  contrivances      as 

wings�察�which every schoolboy knows has been tried and found wanting�察�

from the mythical or pre´historical period�察�I proceed to that very delicate 

question�察�urged of late as essential to the perfect happiness of our human 

species   by   the   two   most   disturbing   and   potential   influences   on   upper´ 

ground      society�察�   Womankind         and   Philosophy。      I   mean�察    �the  Rights    of

Women。 

     Now�察�it is allowed by jurisprudists that it is idle to talk of rights where 

there are not corresponding powers to enforce 144them�察�and above ground�察�

for some reason or other�察�man�察�in his physical force�察�in the use of weapons 

offensive and defensive�察�when it come to positive personal contest�察�can�察�as 

a   rule   of   general   application�察  �master   women。       But   among   this   people 

there can be no doubt about the rights of women�察�because�察�as I have before 

said�察�the Gy�察�physically speaking�察�is bigger and stronger than the An�察�and 

her will being also more resolute than his�察�and will being essential to the 

direction of the vril force�察�she can bring to bear upon him�察�more potently 

than   he   on   herself�察  �the   mystical   agency   which   art   can   extract   from   the 

occult   properties   of   nature。     Therefore   all   that   our   female   philosophers 

above ground contend for as to rights of women�察�is conceded as a matter 

of   course in   this happy  commonwealth。             Besides   such   physical   powers�察�

the Gy´ei have ��at least in youth�� a keen desire for accomplishments and 

learning which exceeds that of the male�察�and thus they are the scholars�察�the 

professors´ the learned portion�察�in short�察�of the community。 

     Of   course�察  �in   this   state   of   society   the   female   establishes�察  �as   I   have 

shown�察     �her   most   valued    privilege�察   �that  of   choosing    and    courting    her 

wedding partner。        Without that privilege she would despise all the others。 

Now�察�above ground�察�we should not unreasonably apprehend that a female�察�

thus potent and thus privileged�察�when she had fairly hunted us down and 

married us�察�would be very imperious and tyrannical。                  Not so with the Gy´ 

ei�此   �once    married�察    �the   wings     once    suspended�察     �and    more     amiable�察�

complacent�察  �docile   mates�察  �more   sympathetic�察  �more   sinking   their   loftier 

capacities into the study of their husbands' comparatively frivolous tastes 

and    whims�察    �no   poet   could    conceive    in   his  visions   of   conjugal    bliss。 

Lastly�察   �among      the   more    important     characteristics     of   the   Vril´ya�察  �as 

distinguished       from    our   mankind´      lastly�察 �and    most    important     on   the 

bearings     of  their   life  and   the  peace    of  their  commonwealths�察        �is  their 

universal agreement in the existence of a merciful beneficent Diety�察�and of 

a future world to the duration of which a century 145or two are moments 

too   brief   to   waste   upon   thoughts   of   fame   and   power   and   avarice�察  �while 

with    that   agreement     is  combined      another´    viz。�察 �since    they   can   know 



                                                133

nothing   as   to   the   nature   of   that   Diety   beyond   the   fact   of   His   supreme 

goodness�察      �nor   of   that  future    world    beyond      the   fact  of   its  felicitous 

existence�察�so their reason forbids all angry disputes on insoluble questions。 

Thus     they    secure    for  that   state   in  the   bowels     of  the   earth    what    no 

community ever secured under the light of the stars´ all the blessings and 

consolations of a religion without any of the evils and calamities which are 

engendered by strife between one religion and another。 

     It would be�察�then�察�utterly impossible to deny that the state of existence 

among the Vril´ya is thus�察�as a whole�察�immeasurably more felicitous than 

that    of  super´terrestrial     races�察   �and
