This is the definitive biography of Richard Francis Burton by Hugh J. Schonfield.
'Do what thy manhood bids thee do, from none but self expect applause:
He noblest lives and noblest dies who
makes and keeps his self-made laws.
All other Life is living Death, A world
where none but Phantoms dwell,
A breath, a wind, a sound, a voice, a
tinkling of the Camel-bell.'

A long-lost and forgotten book by the author of the Passover Plot, Hugh J. Schonfield under the pseudonym of 'Hegesippus'
First published in 1932, this little book caused a sensation and stir amongst conservative Christians yet its explanation of the famous so-called Sermon on the Mount.
The original dust jacket reiterated current reviews:
- 'From first to last the pages vindicate the tenets and essential images in the red area. If your artwork does not meet these words of Christ.' - the Christian
- 'This moving book which all earnest Christians will welcome.' - Dr. McInnes in the Scots Observer
- 'His book is of immense importance.' - City Mid-Week
- 'The Arguments are put forward with so little passion or rhetoric and are so obviously supported by scholarship and knowledge that the case seems beyond refutation.' - City Mid-Week
- 'The exposition here given is supported by Talmudic and other Jewish writings ... singularly apt and illuminating.' - The Christian
It probably remains, as also stated on the front cover:
The Greatest Exposition of the Sermon on the Mount

In this descriptive presentation I have sought for a means to acquaint the scriptwriter with the real quality and aims of JESUS - independent of Christian teaching and theology, and without the necessity of having him portrayed by an actor. I have therefore employed the device, as a means of communication to the scriptwriter - and I hope inspiration - of framing an interview with the man who was closest to Jesus, and in old age had made his home in the great Asian city of Ephesus (in modern Turkey). The man was not Peter, or any one of the Twelve Apostles, but one of a highborn priestly family in Jerusalem in whose home the Last Supper was held and the first Messianic Community of followers of Jesus had their meetings. In the memoirs he dictated he is referred to as the Beloved Disciple. Here I use this man as the one who was closest to the personality and plans of JESUS, and to whom he could speak more freely than to any other living soul.

At the end of August 1956 a world event will take place in the Temple of Peace at Cardiff without precedent in the history of mankind. A People of a new order will come into being among the peoples of the world by formal proclamation and adoption of its Political Constitution: it will be known as the Commonwealth of World Citizens. The citizens will be drawn from men and women in every continent who have pledged their first loyalty to humanity, and these will constitute an impartial agency for world service and mediation identified neither with East nor West, nor with any of the conflicting ideologies. The plan to create such a People originated in 1938, and was quietly brought into operation in 1950. The new Commonwealth already has citizens in thirty-one countries, and its numbers are steadily increasing. The Co-ordinating Office is in London. The work of several distinguished experts in International Law has contributed to the framing of the unique Constitution which is to be adopted, and the text is here published for the first time. It is introduced by the founder, the well-known historian Dr. Hugh Schonfield, who describes the nature of the world people now on the eve of de facto existence, and sets out some of its functions for the promotion of peace and world unity.
