the end he came to practice unbridled licence under the loftiest pretensions, made the profession of extreme disinterestedness a cloak to conceal his avarice, and demanded from his followers a blind and supple obedience. The utopian ideals promoted by Harris had significant influence among his Japanese followers. These included: Arai Osui (1846–1922), who initially transmitted Harris's ideas to Japan. Hatakeyama Yoshinari (1843–1876), later president of Tokyo Kansei Gakko. Ichiki Kanjuro (1842–1919), commonly known as Mitsumura Junzo, later an admiral in the Japanese Imperial Navy. Samejima Hisanobu (1846–1880), later an ambassador Yoshida Kiyonari (1845–1891), later an ambassador Nagasawa Kanaye (1852–1934), Harris's California lieutenant, who acted as developer and manager of the community's of vineyards near Santa Rosa. He succeeded Harris and acted as leader of the brotherhood until 1934. Harris's community left a significant stamp on the history of Santa Rosa; today that part of town is still called Fountaingrove. A street therein, Thomas Lake Harris Drive, is named for him. The round barn that was part of the winery of Harris's protege, Kanaye Nagasawa, was an emblem of the community; it burned in the 2017 Tubbs Fire. A local park and lake were recently named in Nagasawa's honor. Publications and sources Harris published a book, Lyra triumphalis, dedicated to A. C. Swinburne. His teaching was esoteric in form, but has been considered a thinly veiled attempt to alter the ordering of sexual relations. A good deal of the verse published by Harris in more than 40 volumes had what we would call today science-fictional themes. He depicted interplanetary empires, imperial cities entirely covering planets, and the "ancient astronaut" myth, in which space travellers help early humans with agriculture, technology and spiritual development. The Path (Vol. VI, February, 1892, pp. 346–47) printed the article "The Brotherhood of the New Life" by W. Q. Judge, which said that "The Brotherhood of the New Life" has nothing in common with the Theosophical Society. Judge was a follower of Helena P. Blavatsky, the founder of theosophy. The authoritative biography from the side of the disciples of Harris is the book Life by A. A. Cuthbert, published in Glasgow in 1908. Containing language common to Harris's sect, it also contains some biographical facts as well as quotations. The information about Harris in Memoir of the Life of Laurence Oliphant and of Alice Oliphant, his Wife (1891), by Margaret Oliphant, his cousin, has not been shaken
