The Lost Language of Symbolism: An Investigation into the Origin of Certain Letters, Words, Names, Fairy-Tales, Folklore, and Mythologies was published in 1912. While not much is known about Harold Bayley, the author of this text, a letter sent around the time of the book's publication indicates his place of residence (at least, temporarily) was 20 Alexandra Court, 171, Queen's Gate, S.W, an upscale townhouse area near Kensington Gardens. This would place him close to his publishers, Williams and Norgate, who were also based in London. However, it is unknown where the recipient of the letter resided, since while the note itself is folded inside a copy of the book, the envelope is not included.
