PREFACE

■:o:-

IN presenting my second volume of Occult Bibliographies to the public, I have to thank my numerous readers for the kind reception they have accorded my first effort on " Rosicrucian Books " ; the work is now quite out of print, and copies are only obtainable at a premium. I hope that this second volume will prove even more popular than the first one, as I believe it will appeal to a larger circle of readers.

I do not pretend that this Catalogue is complete, but it refers to over 1,400 works, and to give some idea of the labour involved, I may say that, with the exception of a very few entries, all of the books herein enumerated have passed through my own hands, so that I can vouch for the accuracy of my description of them ; it has entailed the labour of many years, but it has been a labour of love, the result of my devotion to Occult Studies, and I do not hope for any profit from its sale. Should my health and means permit, I intend to issue a third volume on " Alchemical Books," and some of my friends are sanguine enough to predict a greater success for this than any of its predecessors have attained j at any rate I have endeavoured in the present volume to render as complete as possible a work intended to embody a catalogue of the literature of the whole world in this enticing branch of occult study, so as to place within reach of the student a volume of reference to a science that has laboured for many years under numerous shortcomings ; not the least of which are the Charlatanry and Quackery indulged in even at the present day by irresponsible quidnuncs who are all willing to supply the gaping crowd with prophecies to suit their taste, and cheap love oracles to all and sundry lads and lasses who are bold enough to seek to know what fate has in store for them.

I believe Astrology to be a true science when properly under- stood ; it dates back to a great antiquity ; the Arabians, Chaldaeans,

( V )

vi PREFACE

Babylonians, Egyptians, etc., all studied it, and have left their records. Astrology has gradually filtered down through numerous channels, becoming tinged and coloured more or less with the personalities and characteristics of the Translators and Annotators until the finale is reached in the present age. We, in our super- lative arrogance, go one better than the Ancients, and tack on two more planets, viz.^ " Herschel " and " Neptune," ousting "Saturn" and "Jupiter" out of two of their houses to make room for the new-comers, and would it be invidious on my part to say that they would be ousted in their turn should we discover two more planets in the future, as is quite possible, and no one can say where it would all end, once you admit the influence of new-comers into our ken.

I am afraid much nonsense has been written about the influence of Herschel and Neptune, and I do not agree with these new ideas, because very few people live long enough for " Herschel " to complete the round, eighty-four years being the time taken to complete his cycle, a calculation published only on 20th March, 1865 (^^^ planet was discovered 13th March, 1781). With Neptune the time is longer still, so that to live through his cycle' is a still more remote possibility for any individual life.

It is obvious that neither of these planets were known to the Ancients, for on an old mummy case in Egypt we have the planets arranged in order, and the signs of the Zodiac around them evenly distributed, shewing their Houses of Exaltation and Fall ; and again in the old records, Berosus {vide Cory's Fragments) states that the God Bel created the Stars, Sun, Moon and Five Planets, thus shewing that in the earliest ages there were only seven known planets corresponding to the days of the week, the septenary nature of man, and other similar correspondences.

The modern writers have also thought fit to reject signs which have been handed down to us from antiquity, such as the ''Dragoiis Head'' and ''Tail'' and the '' Part of Fortune." If it is good enough for us to take up the Science from our ancestors at all, why reject one portion and accept another ; all the old writers include these three factors in their writings, and they must have had good reasons for doing so, yet our modern descendants, in their superlative wisdom, reject them and introduce two new

planets as well, and with it all, they are none too correct in their prognostications, for it is one thing to prophecy, and another to prophecy that which becomes realised.

In compiling this work, I have arranged the titles on the same plan as in the preceding one, which is also the method employed in the Library of the British Museum — viz.^ under Authors^ and when one or more publications have been issued by any one person, then they are arranged in chronological order, and are followed (with few exceptions) by other editions in various languages by various subsequent writers ; where this arrangement has been deviated from I have placed cross-references.

It would be very invidious for me to say which modern hand- book I consider suitable to place in a beginner's hands ; he would do best to select one that adheres most closely to the old writers, and to ignore the fanciful nonsense which is foisted upon the unwary, especially by Charlatans who adopt the pseudonyms of the old writers. I have been obliged to mention their works, otherwise my book would have been incomplete, but beyond the bare mention I have gone no further. Concerning one notorious modern swindler, I have expunged his works completely, as I would not give him a gratuitous advertisement at any price. I consider it a mean and contemptible proceeding to use Occult Arts as a method of making money, and disaster will assuredly overtake anyone who does so.

In conclusion, I have to thank my old friend and teacher. Dr. William Wynn Westcott, for his kindness in allowing me to use his "Sketch of the Origin and History of Astrology" as an Introduction to my book ; his prolonged researches and his knowledge of Astrology and of the other Occult Sciences are well known.

THE HISTORY OF ASTROLOGY

T^HE nations of the ancient world were all more or less of opinion that the movements of the heavenly bodies, the occurrence of eclipses, and the appearance of comets exercised an influence over the fate of the human race, and the destinies of men. They feared the extraordinary manifestations of the sky, and saw portents destined for their instruction in the eclipses of the sun and moon, and in notable conjunctions of the planets. Eclipses of the sun especially, which caused a temporary darkness, seemed to them to be warnings of the anger of their gods, and signs of coming punishment.

The Greeks and the earlier Romans do not appear, so far as Greeks and Roman literature can show, to have practised, studied, or taught any original system, of which the astronomic observa- tions were used for purposes of astrologic divination; this line of thought seems rather to have had its origin among the Chaldeans of Babylonia, from whom it came to the notice of the more Western nations after the travels and wars of Alexander the Great.

The Greek philosophers did not readily adopt astrologic ideals, but professors of the Chaldean magical art of Astrology spread among them, and we find astrological notions become notable in the later years of the Roman Republic, and were well marked in the curious jumble of Eastern and Western science which existed in the third and fourth centuries of our era.

The Greeks made a considerable study of Astronomy, and so were in a position to understand the claims made by the Chaldeans for their views of the influence of the stars upon human destinies. Having learned the elements of the strange astrologic doctrines, the later Greeks sought for references to them in their own earlier writers ; and especially in the venerable works of Homer and Hesiod, possibly because they disliked to

( ix )

X HISTORY OF ASTROLOGY

acknowledge that any sort of learning was not in the possession of their ancestors.

So far as can be judged the deities of the early Greeks were not closely related to the Sun and Planets, although the later Greeks identified their Apollo with Helios the Sun, and Artemis with the Moon. The earlier Greeks looked upon the Sun as driving his chariot through the sky, but the sun was not an Olympian God, and held a minor rank in the earliest Pantheon. Venus, the planet, was called Hesperus, as the evening star, and there was the morning star Eosphorus, but it was not until the time at any rate of Pythagoras, circa 612 B.C., that they were considered to be the same heavenly body. It has been asserted by Miiller, the German savant, in his treatise on Mythology, that the astronomical Greek myths were few, and they were not closely related to their religion.

In the Iliad of Homer, neither the Sun nor Moon is spoken of as driving a chariot, but in the Odyssey Aurora, the Dawn is so described.

According to the much later Roman author Manilius, the chariot of the Sun had four horses, and the chariot of the Moon only two.

Aristotle is the earliest writer whose works are extant in Greek, who mentions the circle of the Zodiac. Euripides, however, speaks of Hippo, daughter of Chiron, as being able to divine future events by means of observations of the stars.

It is of course true that recent writers on Greek myths have asserted relations between the incidents of these myths and astro- nomical facts, and have explained that Greek and Roman religious ideals were connected with the worship of the Sun, Moon, and Stars.

The probably mythical Orpheus is said to have first taught Astronomy to the Greeks.

There are three lands which contest the claim to the earliest astronomical observations, Egypt, India, and the Akkadian empire of uncertain area, to which succeeded the Babylonian civilization with which the Chaldeans and Hebrews were later associated. China also postulates a claim to an unknown antiquity for its astronomic learning, and Astrology has always flourished among

HISTORY OF ASTROLOGY xi

the Chinese. There are really no data yet discovered which can prove which land was the source of Astronomy ; most probably the study was undertaken not only separately, but at much the same early period.

The Akkadian or pre-Chaldean civilization is only of recent discovery, and has been obtained from studies of excavations in the regions of Babylonia.

From literary evidence derived from antiquity we have some proofs of very early astronomic observations made by all these ancient nations. The old Greek and Roman authors refer the source of Astronomy variously to Egypt, to Chaldea, and to Persia, and the papyri recently discovered in Egypt also show astronomical allusions ; while of course the pyramids of Egypt and the towers of Babylonia have led students to postulate that their builders possessed a deep astronomic knowledge. Modern researches into Sanscrit literature have also led students of Eastern lore to the belief that the inhabitants of India in the earliest times must have made long and accurate observations of the heavenly bodies.

According to Isaac Meyer there is reason to think that the Akkadian observations of the stars date back to about 4310 B.C., when the Vernal Equinox occurred in the sign of Taurus.

The earliest allusion to actual divination by the stars in Greek literature is found in the " Timseus " of Plato. Eudoxus became acquainted with Chaldean Astrology.

Diodorus the historian, who flourished about 30 B.C., states that the Chaldeans foretold the death of Antigonus in 315 B.C.

Vitruvius states that Astrology was introduced into Greece by Berosus, who settled in Cos, and held a school there. Berosus was a Chaldean and was a contemporary of Alexander the Great.

From his time Astrology became naturalized among the Greeks. It was much cultivated by the Stoic philosophers.

From Greece the study passed naturally to Italy and to Rome. Cato the Elder refers to it.

Cneius Octavius had an astrologic figure found on his person when he was slain in the days of Marius.

Sylla was advised by the Chaldeans. Cicero speaks of divina-

xii HISTORY OF ASTROLOGY

tion received by Pompey and Crassus. Lucian also states that Julius Caesar noted the revolutions of the stars.

Nigidius Figulus was famous as an astrologer in the later years of the Roman Republic, and foretold the supremacy of Augustus Caesar.

These Roman astrologers became generally known as Chaldeans, whether they were Greeks or Italians ; they rose to the zenith of fame in the early century of the Empire, but later were restrained by legal decisions, from the overt practice of their Art.

Theogenes, a citizen of Apollonia, was consulted by Augustus Caesar.

Thrasyllus was the astrologer of Tiberius Caesar ; his son was consulted by Nero.

Ptolomaeus advised Otho, and Seleneus gave vi^arnings to Vespasian. These facts are narrated by the historian Tacitus. The astrologer Heliodorus was the adviser of the Emperor Valens.

Juvenal mentions the astrologers on several occasions.

The early Christian fathers all condemned judicial astrology, among these Tertullian, Augustine and Isidorus were most famous.

Apart from mythological fancies, the first man of whom it can be proved that he had astronomical knowledge is Thales, a citizen of Miletus, and the founder of the Ionic system of philosophy; he died about 546 B.C. He predicted an eclipse, the horrid darkness of which stopped a battle between the Medes under Cyaxares, and the Lydians led by Alyattes.

He was believed to have gained his knowledge of the heavenly bodies from Egyptian sources; Josephus and Plutarch both say he went to Egypt to study astronomy.

The Greeks seem to have recognised a meteorologic astrology, but not a divinatory form. The chief outflow of Chaldean lore over Greece was during the first three centuries before Christ. The Greek philosophers had good reasons for adopting its notions : first, because their Oracles had ceased to speak and they needed an alternative mode of divine guidance. Secondly, they approved of the idea of a personal genius for each man, and so took kindly to the astrological ideal of a planetary guardianship and

HISTORY OF ASTROLOGY xiii

influence; and lastly, as many Greeks taught that the souls of great men became stars, so many stars must have a relation to men still living on earth ; this idea especially was related to the stars of the Via Lactea or Milky Way. The poet Manilius has left some verses on this subject.

The astrology of the early Romans was an intricate and difficult study ; its professors were called the Mathematici. From their time throughout the years even to Kepler, who died 1630, it may be said that every astronomer was also an astrologer to some extent. From his time the tendency to renounce astrologic claims has continually increased, until at the present day it is rare to find an astronomer of position who acknowledges any faith in prediction or in diagnosis of character from the position of the planets at birth of any man, and still less will he believe in the processes called Horary Astrology, or the judgments of Fate derived from figures of the sky drawn for the time of the special event, or for the time of asking the question.

To return to the origins of history, we find references to astro- logic notions in the civilizations of Babylon and Chaldea, on the banks of the Ganges of India, on the Nile of Egypt, and also in Turanian Chinese history. From Chaldea Astrology came to Persia and Asia Minor, to Greek culture, to Roman cities, and to the Jews who overspread all these parts after the destruction of Jerusalem.

It is said that the Arabs knew of the science even before the days of Mohammed ; the Saracens carried it to Spain about 711 A.D. and the Moors from North Africa brought it afresh to Western Europe by their invasion of Spain in 1237. From the seventh to the thirteenth century the minds of these Arabian- descended conquerors in Europe were filled with astrologic notions ; we have heard of the great renown of Messalah, Albumazar, Almanseer, El Batani and Ibn Yunis.

Our English Astrology comes from two sources, direct from the East, and from the Moors through Spain about 1200; but it is only from the time of the invention of printing that we have many records of the science. Some of the earliest volumes treating of Astrology are almost as complete in many points as our treatises written to-day, and most astrological authors of the

XIV HISTORY OF ASTROLOGY

last two hundred years have merely copied one from another ; even in our own times the most recent books tell us little more than do the works of Lilly, Gadbury, Salmon, Heydon and Coley.

One recent new departure may be noted, by W. G. Old, who has introduced a mode of rectifying nativities by the Pre-Natal Epoch ; which he claims to be more accurate than the old methods of the Animodar of Ptolemy, and the Trutine of Hermes. The pseudonymous Raphael has also devised a system of reckoning primary and secondary Directions differing from that of Zadkiel's Lilly.

Quoting, we presume, from Talmudic tradition, Josephus, the historian of the Jews, asserts that Adam was instructed by divine inspiration in Astrology, and that his son Seth practised the art. He wrote about a.d. 66. The annals of the Ottoman Empire, and the history of the Mohammedan rulers in Asia, Africa and Spain, teem with narratives of astrological predictions, and super- natural warnings which helped to arouse the enthusiasm of these hardy and superstitious warriors. Osman the First, the founder of the Ottoman Empire in 1299, is said to have been much guided by a sheik who professed Astrology. Timour or Tamerlane, the Tartar Chief, was induced to make war with Bajazet, the Sultan of Turkey about the year 1400, by warning received by the Astrologer Abdullah Lissan, and defeated him, as had been foretold.

The sudden death of Murad the Second about 145 1, who was a Sultan of Turkey, and in good health, was prophesied by the astrologic divination of a dervish ; he died three days after.

The glories of the reign of Mohammed the Second was fore- told by the astrologers; he ruled from 1452 to 1480; he it was who took Constantinople. An astrologer foretold with correctness the fates of Selim the First, 1520, and of his son Suleyman who was born in 900th year of the Hegira. In the reign of Selim the Second, 1572, there appeared a comet, regarding which the astrologers prophesied great floods, which subsequently occurred, causing immense damage to three cities.

Mohammed the Third received a prophecy from a dervish that he would die in fifty-six days, and it so happened in 1603.

HISTORY OF ASTROLOGY xv

Murad the Fourth was warned by a sheik astrologer in 1640 that he would have an unpropitious fate at an early date, and he did die according to the terms of the warning in 1640.

We possess a record of a celebrated astrologer, Giamasp, sur- named Al Hakim the wise, a physician who flourished in the reign of King Darius Hystaspes of Persia, about 500 B.C. He is said to have foretold the coming of Jesus, the future founding of a great religion by Mahomet, and that the Magian faith should be abandoned ; see the classic work of Dr. Hyde on the ancient Persians.

The Old Testament has several references to astrology, and to soothsayers who judged of human events, divining them by the stars. These refer to the Chaldean philosophers, who were called Magi. Consult these references: — Isaiah xlvii. 13: "Let now the astrologers stand up, and save thee from these things." Daniel i. 20 : The King found Daniel better than all the astrologers in his realm. Daniel ii. 27 : Daniel asks the King if the astro- nomers cannot show the secret to the King. Daniel iv. 7 : The astrologers failed to explain a dream. Daniel v. 7, 11: The King calls on the astrologers to explain a writing. Genesis xli. 8 : The magicians are called on to explain a dream of Pharaoh.

In the New Testament, consult: — Acts xix. 19: Men who possessed curious books burned them before Paul.

As regards Divination in general, this magical art is repre- sented by three Hebrew words — Maquesem, Kasiphim, and Lachash. In Numbers xxii. 7, the Elders of Moab and of Midian have rewards for Divination. In Deuteronomy xviii. 9-10, Diviners are condemned, and the Jews are to consider them as an abomination. In Ezekiel xii. 24, the Lord denies the use of Divination to the people of Israel. In Ezekiel xiii. 7, 23, Diviners are forbidden.

In the New Testament we find a note in Acts xvi. 16 : A damsel has powers of divination, she brought her masters much money ; Paul cast out the spirit, and she lost her powers.

In the Bible there are many references to the stars, planets and Zodiac. Mazzaroth is a word found in Job xxxviii. 32, and is now believed to refer to the Signs of the Zodiac. Genesis i. 14: "Let the lights of the firmament be for signs."

xvi HISTORY OF ASTROLOGY

Deuteronomy xxxiii. 14: "Blessed be the Lord for the precious things put forth by the moon." The Pleiades, called Kimah, and the constellation Orion, as Kesib, are found mentioned in Job ix. 9. Orion appears to have been also a name applied to Nimrod the mighty hunter ruler.

Amos V. 8 speaks of the seven stars, and Orion.

The name Arcturus, called Ash and Aish, is believed by some to be the stars of Ursa major, and not the star now so called. In Job xxxviii. 32, Arcturus and his sons are referred to.

Jupiter, as Zeus, either as pagan god, or as a planet, is referred to in Acts xiv. 12; and in 2 Maccabee vi. 2, we read that Antiochus sent to the Jews a message that the Holy Temple was to be dedicated to Jupiter Olympus.

In Judges v. 20 we read : " The stars in their courses fought against Sisera '* ; which seems to imply an astrologic ideal of stellar influence over the fates of men.

Lucifer, the morning star or planet which paled before the rising sun, and in Hebrew called Hilal, was the Greek Eosphoros. This name was not applied to Satan until Jerome so used it ; Milton adopted it. The Moon was called Irak and Levanah, or Labanah, and was considered the ruler of night.

The Sun was named Shemesh, and Chamah, and Cheres ; and was called the ruler of day.

The Hebrew word for star in general was Kukab, but this word was also applied to the planet Venus, especially by the Kabalistic rabbis of the middle ages.

I may mention a few notable astrologers individually : —

Claudius Ptolemy lived at Alexandria in Egypt, the great centre of learning in the first century, a.d. His works illustrated one of the earlier systems of Astronomy, which have come down to us, and many astrological treatises are extant which bear his name. He was the eminent student who rescued the labours of Hipparchus, who lived 200 years before him, from oblivion. His most famous volume is the "Almagest," and from this work later authors have largely extracted the treatises called "Tetrabiblos" and "Quadripartite," or the Four Books of Astrology. There is a Latin edition, printed at Basle in 1551, still to be found in a few libraries,

HISTORY OF ASTROLOGY xvii

The Venerable Bede is said to have studied astrology; he died in 735.

Albumazar, a famous Arab astrologer, flourished in a.d. 800.

Roger Bacon, who lived from 12 14 to 1292, was much addicted to astrology.

About 1300 a Franciscan monk, named Guido Bonatus, was a famous Italian astrologer ; he divined that his patron, the Earl of Monserrat, should fight a certain battle with success, but should be wounded in the knee, and so it fell out in both events. He wrote " De Astronomia," tractatus x. ; these were printed at Basle in 1550.

Henry Cornelius Agrippa was one of the most famous of the old occult philosophers and his works are full of astrological ideas. He was born, i486, at Cologne ; he was astrologer to Francis the First of France about 1524 and lost that office because he foretold unfavourable events. His three volumes on Occult Philosophy were published about 1530. He is said to have formed in Paris and in London secret societies of astrologic and alchymic students, which some think formed one of the sources of the rise in Freemasonry. He died in 1535. A later fourth volume appears to be spurious.

Florent de Villiers was famous as an astrologer at the court of Louis the Eleventh of France about 1645 'j ^^ carried on a school of astrology, and King Charles the Seventh, the father of Louis the Eleventh, is said to have attended these classes.

Lord Burleigh calculated the nativity of our Queen Elizabeth, and she, with other princes, consulted Dr. John Dee, the astrologer, who was certainly to some extent a charlatan; he lived from 1527 to 1608.

Michael Scott, who lived in the thirteenth century, was famous for his astrological knowledge and was much esteemed by the Emperor Frederick the Second, whose death at Florence happened as he had foretold ; he also divined the manner of his own death by the fall of a stone, and this occurred in a church by the falling of a stone from the roof.

Julius Firmicus Maternus wrote an astrologic treatise in Venice, 1497. Valentine Naibod, of Padua, foretold danger to himself from a sword wound, and many years after was murdered

xviii HISTORY OF ASTROLOGY

by thieves in his house — they stabbed him. He wrote '* De coelo et terra," libri 3, Venice, 1573.

Nostradamus (Michel de Notre Dame) was one of the most famous astrologers of France ; he was the physician of King Henry the Second, and became especially notable about 1555. His astrologic prophesies were written in a thousand stanzas of four lines each. Catherine de Medicis made him her special favourite. He died in 1566 as physician to King Charles the Ninth ; the best edition of his " Prophecies " is that of Amsterdam, 1668.

Antiochus Tibertus flourished in the Romagna of Italy in the fifteenth century, and was astrologer to Prince Malatesta of Rimini.

Elias Ashmole, of Oxford, the famous antiquarian, speaks of the Annual Astrologers' Feast, and mentions the Rev. M. Butler, Saunders, Town Clerk of London ; Thomas Vaughan, Sir Edmund Bering, and William Backhouse as noted astrologers.

The astrologic works of William Lilly are still consulted ; he was born in 1602. He was a great admirer of the " Ars Notoria" of Agrippa. He published an astrological almanac from 1644 until his death in 1681. In 1651 he issued two hieroglyphical pictures, one of a scene of epidemic deaths, and the other of a great fire seen from London Bridge. These events happened fifteen years after, in 1665 and 1666, and he even fell under suspicion of having been privy to the cause of the Great Fire of London. King Charles the First also consulted Lilly when imprisoned in Carisbrooke Castle in 1647, and was advised to travel eastward for safety, but instead he journeyed to the West, with unfortunate results. At the end of William Lilly's "Christian Astrology," edition 1647, there is a valuable catalogue of astrological books.

John Gadbury was a pupil of William Lilly. He became a famous astrologer and published a series of almanacs ; he died in 1 69 1. He published his " Genethlialogia, or Doctrine of Nativities," in 1658; "Celestial Ambassador," 1656; "Nativity of King Charles the First," in 1659, and the "Nature of Prodigies" in 1660.

Francis Barrett was the author of "The Magus/' published in

HISTORY OF ASTROLOGY xix

London in 1801 ; it is a compendium of the occult lore of his time. The printing of the Hebrew words teems with errors.

In 1828 there appeared "The Manual of Astrology," by Raphael, which contains coloured prophetic pictures ; it is a sound and comprehensive astrological treatise.

"The Familiar Astrologer," 1849, ^^^ " The Astrologer of the Nineteenth Century," 1825, were also published by this anonymous astrologer.

It has been asserted that Sir Isaac Newton began his study of astronomy on account of the interest which astrological books had aroused in his mind. He was born in Lincolnshire on December 25 (old style), 1642 ; he showed from the laws formulated by Kepler the nature of the forces which conduct the planets in their courses.

The astronomical labours of Tycho Brahe, who died 1601, were largely tinctured by astrological ideas ; he foretold truly events that happened to Caspar Peucer, the son-in-law of Melancthon, and, in a famous oration, delivered by order of the King in 1574, he dwelt on the importance of the art ; again, he drew up the horoscope of the King's eldest son. Prince Christian, in his birth in 1577, and his successor, Kepler, who died in 1630, was also a student of the works of the old astrologers.

Geronimo Cardan, born at Paris in 1501, has left a large number of volumes which testify to his researches into the laws of astrology ; he was both an M.A. and an M.D.

A very sympathetic reference to Astrology as the forerunner of astronomy will be found in "Old and New Astronomy" by Richard A. Proctor, London, 1892. He says — "None of the races of antiquity rose above a certain level of civilization without developing a belief in the influences of the heavenly bodies, and without devising systems for reading and ruling the planets."

According to Lalande it was not until the time of Saint Clement of Alexandria in the second century, that Natural became distinguished from Judicial astrology, and Astronomy from Astrology.

Astrology then has been a science from the earliest times, and eminent men of all ages have either made it a study, or have

XX HISTORY OF ASTROLOGY

sought the advice of astrologers. Its attractiveness has led many men to a serious study of astronomy, a more tangible science, which has developed into enormous importance. That Astronomy has supplanted Astrology is certain, and yet astrological ideals are still very much of interest to a great number of people. The hope of a possible science of knowing the unknown is doubtless at the root of the matter. Man is always seeking to know what is hidden, and the renewed interest in all forms of occult science is one of the phenomena of our own times.

Men and women are no longer persecuted for occult learning, but they are still subject to mild rebuke and some public slights, if they openly avow a hope of the possibility of any form of divination — a proceeding condemned by the Christian faith.

This objection is made light of by many students, because history shows that all forms of even recognised science were at one time condemned by the Church ; they have not forgotten the persecutions of Galileo. It is still an open question whether there is any stellar or planetary influence upon man, beyond the recognised action of the sun and moon. All other heavenly bodies are certainly very far off and have hardly any appreciable physical action upon our earth and must have still less on individual man. Still gradation of influence is more in keeping with nature's laws than is abrupt termination or absence of influence. Occasional successful astrological results point to the existence of a basis of truth in the science, but frequent errors made by its most noted professors certainly show that the rules of Astrology are still far from being accurate. Until modern science can show the astrologer, by some ultra-astrological explana- tion, why some of his results have been correct, the astrologers may claim to believe that the methods and principles of divination have some basis in the workings of nature.

The author of this rare and curious work (which was burnt at Nantes by the Public Executioner) was, according to Leibnitz, the famous Capucin Father, Yves de Paris. This original edition, which was printed at the expense of the Marquis d'Asserat, is much sought after by the curious, as in the reprint the predictions respecting Europe, the sole cause of the work being condemned to the flames, were entirely omitted. Amongst the predictions to England are : in 1666, *' Magna Calamitas " (the year of the Great Fire of London); in 1691, "Magna Reipublicae Turbatio " (General Ginkel's wars in Ireland); in 1705, '* Adversa Omnia" (a mistake, witness the successes of the Duke of Marlborough and Earl of Peterborough); in 1756, " Minatur Maximum Excidium " (war declared against France).

BiCheretaff GeaaC) pseud, [le,, Jonathan Swift].

A very aftnusing controversy took place A.D. 1708 between Jonathan Swift and John Partridge, the Astrologer and Almanack Maker ; the following pamphlets are taken out of E Arber's reprints, contained in his work, "An English Garner," Vol. VI., 4to, Birmingham, 1883.

117 Predictions for the Year 1708, wherein the Month and Day of the Month are set down, the Persons named, and the Great Actions and Events of next year related, &c., written to prevent people from being further impos'd on by vulgar Almanack Makers. 4to. 8 pp. London

120 Squire Bickerstaff detected, or the Astrological Impostor convicted by JOHN PARTRIDGE, Student in Physic and Astrology, a True and Impartial Account of the Proceedings of Isaac Bickerstaff, Esq., against me. London, 1708

This was written for Partridge either by Nicholas Rowe or Dr. Yalden, and put forth by him, in good faith, in proof of his continued existence. Not satisfied with this Impartial Account^ when next Almanack time came (in the following November, 1708) Partridge's Almanack Iqx 1709 contained a further disclaimer. Swift's reply was the following, viz. : —

12 1 A Vindication of Isaac Bickerstaff, Esq., against what is objected to him by Mr. Partridge in his Almanack for the present year, 1709, by the said ISAAC BICKER- STAFF, Esq. 8vo. Z pp. London, 1709

Under the combined assault of the Wits, Partridge ceased to publish his Almanack for a while, but afterwards took heart again, publishing his '''' Merlinus Redivivus, in 1714 ; it contains an epistle to his adversary, and exhibits some acrimonious repartees.

(Biuntini (franceaco)*

This Author is also known as Junctin de Floreniia^ he was a famous Doctor of Theology, and Almoner of Fran9ois de Valois, the youngest Brother of Henry III., King of France. His work, the Speculum AstrologicB^ is of the highest importance, as it contains the whole theory and practice of the Art, elaborated with the most perfect precision ; the foundation of it is taken from a Greek work, by Claudius Ptolemy^ one of the last of the grand succession of Initiates who espoused the Alexandrian School of Philosophy. The original manuscript enunciated the Hermetic traditions of Egyptian Oriental Magic, while our Author's commentary contains the result of his life-long researches among the profundities of Chaldaic Astrology, Jewish Cabbalism, and Arabian Theurgy. The substance, however, has been republished in a modern work by a French Author, P. Christian^ who in his "Histoire de la Magie," gives us the key of the teachings in a modern garb.

We all owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Westcott for rescuing this MS. and giving us such an excellent translation ; there is an Arcana in these Tarot Trumps which many modern students have vainly endeavoured to discover ; the fanciful nonsense that has been circulated chiefly in France and America is hardly credible ; each self-constituted Hierophant beats his own drum and shrieks himself hoarse in asserting he has the real secret ; it is only another case of the blind leading the blind.

This Author I have considered worthy of occupying the foremost place amongst Englishmen who have studied this Ancient Science, so I have thought fit to insert his portrait as a frontispiece ; he flourished during the troublous times of King Charles and the Parliament, and he certainly gave the King good advice, as, when he departed from it, things went badly with him ; he foretold the Great Fire of London and the Plague, and got into trouble over it, as he was accused of being an accessory to the act but happily proved his innocence. Elias Ashmole, the Antiquary, Freemason, Astrologer, and Alchemist, bought Lilly's Library of Books three days after his death from his widow, for the sum of fifty pounds ; money in those days was worth a good deal more than it is now.

It contains a horary figure, drawn up 19th Jany., 1648, to determine whether King Charles should live or die, and Lilly's judgment was to the effect that he would die by the axe; but that, if he survived the 31st January, it was possible he might live a little longer.

This is one of the Author's most important works, on account of his predicting the Plague, the Great Fire of London, the Downfall of Episcopal Power, &c., in the woodcuts at the end. The plates foretelling the Great Fire, which occurred fifteen years later, depict two children embracing one another, topsy turvy, signifying the sign Gemini which rules London, beneath which a huge fire is burning, whilst the group of people around are vainly endeavouring to quench it ; another plate shows rows of burning houses on both sides of a large river, which might readily be taken to signify the Thames ; the plates showing the Plague are equally significant. The original MS. of Grebner's Prophecy, as presented to Queen Elizabeth, A.D. 1574, remains in Trinity Coll. Library, Cambridge, having been presented thereto by Dr. Newell, Clerk of the Closet to the Queen. The printed editions of 1648 and 1650 are counterfeits.

77:^ Manuscript. Scott (R.) A Treatise against Astrology (with the headline Astrology disproved). Beautifully written MS., 106 leaves, with drawings of hands and diagrams of Horoscopes. 1599

An unpublished work of the only man in England who at the time had courage and sagacity enough to inveigh against popular and inveterate superstition. Among^it the illustrations are the horoscopes of Henry VIII., Edward VI., Mary and Elizabeth, as drawn by the Astrologers, with observations upon the falsity of the predictions in every case. Of the dangerous or deadly years predicted for Elizabeth her sixty-sixth year had already passed in health and safety, and the writer ventures to say that her seventy-third would come with equal felicity. This is clear proof that the book was written in 1599 or 1600. There is no name or title to betoken the authorship, but the book was apparently intended for publica- tion under the title given in one of the two headings above mentioned.

The bulk of these volumes are taken from the Geneva folio edition of 1658 in Latin, and give a very good idea of this Author's capabilities ; it is hardly within the scope of a work like this to give more than a few representative works of such a voluminous writer. The famous Schubert collection contained no less than 194 editions of his writings, with 548 other works whose contents partly or chiefly treated of him and his surroundings ; this is the largest collection I am aware of; it was sold as a whole in 1893. As regards Bibliographies, several have appeared — viz.^ those by "Adelung," " Borellius," " Du Fresnoy," " Gmelin," and "Mook;" this latter author's list is nearly complete in numbers, but is quite un- reliable in bibliographical descriptions.

The Astrologer of the Nineteenth Century. 8vo. London, William Charlton Wright, the Original Publisher of The Prophetic Almanack, 7, York Street, Covent Garden

This was the First Edition and appeared on November loth, 1826, it was started by Raphael No. I., i.e., Robert Sinith, or as he was sometimes called, R. C. Smith. I have in my possession a volume containing the first four years' Almanacks, and on the inside cover is written in the author's own handwriting, " Mrs. Tovey, with the author, Robert Smith's, compliments," &c. ; it is an interesting souvenir connected with this student ; he also published in 1832, *'A Companion to the Prophetic Messenger: being a key to the last five years, particularly explaining the Hieroglyphics, with copious remarks upon the same," with all the old plates (uncoloured) shortly before his death which occurred in the same year, when Raphael No. II. — i.e.y John Palmer, undertook its editing.

It would appear that there were two issues of the Prophetic Messenger for 1833, one published by W. C. Wright, who had done so from its com- mencement ; and the other published by J. Denley (the famous bookseller referred to by Sir Bulwer Lytton in the preface to his work Zanoni), this latter issue was published anonymously, but its reputed author gives his Horoscope therein under the title of Dixon, born March 28, 1795, 8.58 A.M., Lat. 51.31 N., he refers contemptuously to lohn Palmer as

/

BIBLIOTHECA ASTROLOGICA 119

"Shopman lo Mr. Ball, Chemist, »S:c., Duke Street, Piccadilly"; also *'/*. Moody as Messenger to the House of Commons"; it would appear from his account that these two young men had approached Mr. Smith's widow, and she had accepted their services to write the Prophetic Messenger for 1833. I suppose, on hearing this, Mr. Di[x]on thought he would start an opposition Almanack, a copy of which I am fortunate enough to possess ; it does not appear, however, to have got beyond its initial number, so, I suppose, that in spite of his youth Palmer was successful, as Wright continued its publication until the issue for 1859, when a new name appeared — viz., "Piper, Stephenson and Spence." I notice, however, that in 1834 Wright states on the title-page, " Published by the Proprietor, IV. C. Wright, 4, Paternoster Row,'^ so I expect he employed Palmer to edit it and he became its Proprietor, probably by arrangement with Mrs. Smith, as no previous issue appeared in this manner, whereas all subsequent ones bore a similar imprint. A noteworthy fact in this year is worth recording — viz.. The Lunar Aspects and Declinations are first given and are presented in monthly form, and the whole publication was enlarged to 84 pp. In 1836, however, we first have its appearance with Two Almanacs, or rather the addition of the one with which we are now familiar of the Ephemeris or Positions of all the Planets.

This was a step in the right direction and must have added considerably to its popularity and success, but I am bound to say that in all these early numbers, and right up to 1873 (when they ceased), the folding coloured hieroglyphical plates are masterpieces of mystical work and must have proved a great attraction, the price, however, of 2s gd was a stiff one for an almanac in those days; it was reduced to half a crown in 1837, and about 1870 to two shillings, which again in 1875 was reduced to the popular price of one shilling, at which it has remained up to the present day. /ohn Palmer died in 1837, and was succeeded in the editorship by a Mr. Medhurst — i.e., Raphael No. III. I am unable to find any p>ar- ticulars about him, and he in his turn was succeeded in 1 849- 1 850 by a Mr, Wakely — i.e., Raphael No. IV. ; he was a schoolmaster on board H.M.S. The Virto7'y, but resigned this in favour of his astrological studies ; he gave his Horoscope in the issue for 1853, and, curiously enough, like his predecessor fohn Palmer, died the same year he did so ; it would appear to be a fatality about publishing these Nativities in the Messenger. In the issue for 1854, I notice the publisher, W. C. Wright, changed his title, adding the words "and Company," and the work was enlarged to 120 pp. Raphael No. V., now appeared in the person of a Air. Sparkes, who edited the work with ability and skill until his death in May, 1875.

I notice in the issue of 1859 that the publisher, Wright, had died, and the new owners were " Messrs. Piper, Stephenson, and Spence," who, however, did not long remain so, as the issue for 1861 contains a fresh one in the person of " T. T. Lemare," who resigned in his turn in 1873 to Messrs. Caity and Dobson, the latter of whom dropped out of the firm in 1878, leaving Mr. J. E. Catty in sole control ; but, curiously enough, he re- appeared in 1881, as I find the title of the old firm in the publication for that year, rising again like the Phoenix out of the ashes of the past ; however in 1886, Messrs. W. Foulsham & Co. came on the scene, and these well-known publishers have had it in hand ever since ; not only have they carried on this highly successful work, but also many others of a similar character, with signal success, bringing occult works within reach of many people to whom they were hitherto indeed a veritable terra incogtiita^ and have really supplied a long-felt want ; they are doing a great work and I hope they will prosper.

Raphael No. VI. took up the editing in his turn in 1876, and has continued it ever since, he has made many important contributions to the literature and done excellent work in popularising the science as his numerous hand- books afford ample testimony to the immense value of his work in bringing the chief tenets and rules within reach of the multitude at popular prices. I can hardly recommend better works for beginners, as the directions are

I20 BIBLIOTHECA ASTROLOGICA

clear and precise, and one can scarcely fail to succeed in following out his ample directions to obtain success whether in drawing up a Hori'scope or in judging same ; for obvious reasons, I refrain from disclosing his identity, which however is well-known to all leading men in the profession.

His chief successes in literature were " The Manual" and his " Prophetic Messenger" {vide Periodical Publications)^ which latter first appeared on Nov. 10, 1826, and rapidly ran through three editions in as many months, and whose sale has since increased every year until, under its present management, it has attained a yearly sale of 162,000 copies {vide issue for 1900). What would Mr. Smith think of the result of his puny effort were he alive at the present day? It is a truly remarkable result, and only shows to what height small beginnings may lead to, anyhow, even his success in those early days attracted attention, as I find that in a.d. 1830 Zadkiel published his Herald of Astrology in imitation of Raphael's work, and this also has been a successful almanac, although possibly in a minor degree, down to the present day. He worked with indefatigable industry and perseverance at his occult studies and got through a deal of earnest solid work for the advancement of the Science ; his efforts will always be highly esteemed and his name handed down to posterity as a pioneer of his day ; when, however, he commenced on Magic, I fancy he rather alienated himself from the friends he had gained by his astrological works. After a long sickness he died on February 26, 1832, at 4 h. 15 m. p.m. For fuller details of this interesting man's life see " Royal Book of Fate," fifth edition, 1833 5 ^Iso "The Prophetic Messenger," a.d. 1833, published by J. Denley.

107 1 [Raphael and Graham]. Philosophical Merlin. 8vo. London, 1822

This was our Author's first literary effort and is a work on Geomancy ; it had but a limited sale and was eventually disposed of by the publisher Denley.

London, W. C. Wright, 1825 — but the first number is designated as above, and bears the date June 5th, 1824, 4d. This is entered under P.P., as it appeared in parts, the last one is dated Oct. 30, 1824, threepence

This work was not a great success, its title was changed during its publication, and eventually it was disposed of for eleven shillings a ream in sheets^ the paper alone originally cost one guinea ! ! !

1073 Urania, or Chronicle of the Stars and Mystical Magazine. 8vo. London, 1825

This publication shared the same fate as its predecessors and ultimately found a resting-place at the Publisher Denley 's.

Collation 2 title-pages (xii) 560 (iv) pp. This is really a new edition of "The Straggling Astrologer," many of the cuts are the same, and it is wrongly described as being the Seventh Edition, it is really the Second Edition and seems to have been an un- fortunate publication from the commencement, as before this Edition was in the hands of the public, the publisher failed and the creditors placed it in Messrs. Knight & Lacey's hands for disposal, who, strange to say, also went bankrupt ; ultimately it was disposed of to a T,ondon bookseller {query Denley) with, I believe, better results.

Stars, which contains every requisite illustration of the Celestial Science, or the Art of foretelling future Events by the influences of the Heavenly Bodies. With 3 fine coloured plates. Bvo. London, C. S. Arnold, 1828

Collation 2 title-pages 256 pp. A fine book and very trustworthy, but Experientia Docet, and, remembering how his former efforts had received but scanty financial success, he took the precaution with this work to dispose of the copyright for which he received the sum of ;^ioo ; fortunately for him he did so, as the wretched publisher lost heavily over the transaction, the work ultimately being sacrificed to a London bookseller.

London, Knight & Lacey, 1828

After the failure of the publishers, the work was sold off in 1832, being completed by J. Bennett, No. 4, Three Tun Passage, Newgate Street.

1077 Familiar Astrologer (The) : an Easy Guide to

Fate, Destiny, and Fore-knowledge, as well as to the Secret and Wonderful Properties of Nature, &c., by Raphael, author of "The Astrologer of the 19th Cen- tury " and " The Prophetic Messenger." With 5 fine coloured mystical plates. 8vo. London, 1831 — Another Edition, 1849

Zadkiel, the Seer. Folding coloured plates. 8vo. 6'6 pp. London, N.D. (1829)

This appears to be a genuine work (4,090 different answers) according to the history given of it in the preface ; the MS. eventually came into the hands of the bookseller, J. Denley, who sold it for the large sum of twenty guineas ! ! !

1079 Raphael's Witch!!! or the Oracle of the Future, by the author of the " Prophetic Messenger." With ten coloured designs by R. Cruikshank and the Author, &c. 8vo. London, 1831 — Third Edition^ 1835

John Palmer (Raphael No. 2) was a Chemist, also born at Bristol, on May 28, 1807, 8 h. 28 m. p.m. When Raphael No. i died in 1832 Palmer was living at No. 75, Castle Street East, Oxford Street, London, and continued to publish The Prophetic Messenger until the date of his own death, which occurred in 1837. I find by a curious coincidence that the Prophetic Messenger for 1837 contains his Horoscope, with the chief events of his life detailed at length ; it also states that he moved house to No. 2, Crescent Cottages, Hackney, facing the Canal {vide Article "Periodical Publications, Prophetic Messenger," for further details).

This Author was one of the most Famous Magicians in the World's History ; he studied and wrote on Astro- logy and Alchemy (vide Liber Introductorius and Liber Particularis), but I am unable to obtain a sight of any of his books dealing with our Art. There are many of his MSS. in the " Laurentian, Vatican, Riccardian of Florence," and other Libraries ; he foretold his own death, which was caused by a stone falling and crushing him ; he was appointed Astrologer to the Emperor Frederick II., King of Sicily, and afterwards Emperor of Germany. He wrote under the pseudonym of " Theo-

\i.e. Richard James Morrison], born June 15, 1795, 9 h. 58 m. A.M., sometimes called Zadkiel Tao Sze on account of a Society of this name started by him about the year 1870.

This edition is published in a popular form in " Bohn's Scientific Library," and for a work on Horary Astrology I can heartily recommend it. Lilly was a very successful student, and his remarks and suggestions are full of point and interest ; it is one of the most popular of our modern works ; I believe the first edition appeared in 1865, there have been several published subsequently.
