“Whenever a mystical whisper was heard, from Behmen down to St. Simon, sprang up the thought”

Fuller, Margaret. Woman in the Nineteenth Century. New York: Greeley & McElrath, 1845.

Inferred Fuller's assured invocation of Behmen alongside St. Simon in a published discussion of mystical tradition implies familiarity with his thought, but the extent, date, and source of that familiarity cannot be established from this passage; any reading is therefore inferred from the mention rather than attested by it.
