The Night’s Cipher, by Paul Gordon James

The archive of Professor Paul Gordon James—long thought lost—has now been unearthed and made available for the first time. Born in Bath, Somerset, on July 4, 1870, Prof. James pursued his education at Christ Church, Oxford, before continuing his postgraduate studies at the Royal College of Science in London under the guidance of Prof. Reginald Dixon.

The collection of his papers, chronicled in The Night’s Cipher, provides remarkable insights into 19th-century history, the nature of consciousness, and artificial intelligence—along with shocking revelations that may finally expose the true identity of Jack the Ripper. Equally controversial are the records concerning Prof. Dixon, a man whose actions remain the subject of fierce debate.

A collective of scholars, recognizing the profound historical and philosophical implications of these writings, has taken it upon themselves to preserve and publish them. With the support of Atmosphere Press, Prof. James’s long-hidden work is now available to the public, allowing readers to explore the mysteries he left behind and determine the truth for themselves.
