The spine is worn and slightly faded at the top and bottom and there is light spotting to the bottom edges. "The author of this Encyclopaedia has begged me to tell the reader at the very start of the Introduction which he has been good enough to ask of me, that it does not constitute a complete treatise of the sciences called Occult (this would require ten volumes at the least), nor will it be found to be new to the 'initiated.' It is a popular compendium having for its main object the collection in one volume, easy to read and convenient to consult, of the facts and theories in the numerous special treatises which relate to each of these sciences" - from the Introduction. Book about Cartomancy & Chiromancy. (Arcane, Arcane, Astrology, Divination, Graphology, Magic, Occult, Physiognomy).
