The Herald of Coming Good was first published in 1933, apparently as a prelude to the publication of Gurdjieff's three series of books under the common title of All and Everything. It was written in the obtuse and difficult style of Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson. As such, it is a mysterious publication. It pretends to be a marketing vehicle for attracting people to the Work, with registration blanks for readers to fill in, should they wish to subscribe to the books of the First Series. The casual reader is unlikely to make much sense of it, but serious readers of Gurdjieff's writings may find its contents valuable.
This version of the book has been "translated" into American English and also includes a rendering of the prospectus for Gurdjieff's Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man. As an djuncta to the book, there are some notes about The Herald made by the editor of this publication. They do not constitute a complete analysis. Nevertheless, they may prove useful to the reader.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
