Download this free E-Book written by A. T. Schofield, M.D. about the fourth dimension. What makes this book different is that the author's objective is to prove that the fourth dimension is present in some Bible chapters and that the fact that some prophets were taken alive to the heavens is another proof of beings moving from our three dimensional space to a fourth dimension. "We have also the account of Elijah and Enoch and Christ suddenly leaving this world for the higher one, while yet alive."
It can be said that Another World is the sequel to Flatland, but instead of people traveling from a flat space to our 3D space, is our 3D people going to a 4D universe. A controversial book that you would surely enjoy!

Mathematical Essays was originally published in Germany and I think that the translator's note is a good and sufficient introduction to this wonderful collection of essays:
The monistic construction of arithmetic, the systematic and organic development of all its consequences from a few thoroughly established principles, is quite foreign to the general run of American and English elementary text-books, and the first three essays of Professor Schubert will, therefore, from a logical and esthetic side, be full of suggestions for elementary mathematical teachers and students, as well as for non-mathematical readers. For the actual detailed development of the system of arithmetic here sketched, we may refer the reader to Professor Schubert’s volume Arithmetik und Algebra, recently published in the Göschen-Sammlung (Göschen, Leipsic),—an extraordinarily cheap series containing many other unique and valuable text-books in mathematics and the sciences."
The featured article from this collection of essays is The Fourth Dimension: Mathematical and Spiritualistic. It is an extensive article that -as the title implies- explores the four-dimensioned space from its both approaches: the metaphysical and the mathematical.
Charles Hinton was a prolific and highly imaginative writer that set the line of thought for future writers about the fourth dimension. He elaborated and devised mental exercises to envision the fourth dimension.
In this E-Book, you can find some of his most outstanding and famous articles. See the origin of the classical inductive reasoning that starts from the two dimensional line up to the plane, the tridimensional space, and finally to the fourth dimension.
A high quality PDF E-Book with some of the author's original drawings redrawn for the best presentation.
