Abstract
In an earlier study of Welby's significs, a few brief remarks were incorporated on the denunciation of mysticism in Welby's writings. After the publication of Welby's oeuvre in a single volume – Susan Petrilli's (2009) Signifying and understanding – this aspect of Welby's intellectual output can now be investigated further. This is supplemented by archival work undertaken in the Welby collection at Senate House Library, University of London. Together, these additional sources provide for a deeper understanding of Welby's thoughts on the matter of mysticism.
