How To Make  A Cycle Analysis
 Dewey’s Famous Correspondence Course
By Edward R. Dewey
Founder of the Foundation For The Study of Cycles…

 

1955. Approx. 630 pages, with charts. This how-to manual on cycle analysis was written by Edwin R. Dewey in 1955 as a correspondence course.  It provides step-by-step instructions on the elements of cycle analysis, including how to identify, measure, isolate and evaluate cycles. The most elaborate cycle course ever written, by the founder of the Foundation For The Study of Cycles. This course had a limited release in the 50's at a price of $350.00, but has been almost unknown since then.
