VMs: Mary Everest Boole

["Marke Fincher" <MarkeFincher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is probably "well trodden ground" for most of 
you guys, but I found something very interesting 
when reading about Mary Everest Boole, wife of George 
Boole (the famous mathematician) and mother of Ethel 
Boole (who was to marry Voynich).   Mary was a very 
capable mathematician in her own right,  and:

"
Due to a controversy over one of her books, Mary was 
forced to quit her job at the college. Mary found 
another job as a secretary for her father's friend, 
James Hinton. Through Hinton, Mary became interested 
in evolution and the art of thinking. SHE BELIEVED
THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE TO EXPRESS ALL BASIC NOTIONS OF
THE UNIVERSE WITH NUMBERS AND SYMBOLS.

At the age of 50, Mary began writing a series of books 
and articles, publishing them regularly until the time 
of her death. 
"

"
Mary Boole had a fascination with the science of the 
psychic or spirit world. It took over fifteen years 
to get her next book, The Message of Psychic Science 
for Mothers and Nurses, published due to the controversy 
over the subject matter. It was over this book that 
Mary lost her job as a librarian.
