Publisher's Synopsis
This special edition of 'A System of Magic' was written by Daniel de Foe, and first published in 1840, making it over 170 years old. This substantial book, somewhat misleadingly titled, is actually about the long history of magic from archaic times to the author's present day, written with some disdain of the subject, rather than a how-to manual. With sections on topics like the advancement of men to royalty and government, and honest men who studied philosophy and astronomy, and became sorcerers and wizards who made deals with the Devil. A fascinating old occult tome, and a must-read for all practitioners, historians and researchers on the Occult. IMPORTANT NOTE - Please read BEFORE buying! THIS BOOK IS A REPRINT.
