Description

Description from Internet Archive (opens in a new tab)

TO THE READER. From the fertile fields of ancient and modern literature, I have culled the facts relating to the history of the art of magic, to which the earlier pages of this little book are devoted. To give credit for everything recorded would seem out of place in a work of this kind, encumbering .its pages with useless data and difficult names. Such a course would be at variance with my object, which is to present the wonderful history of the art of magic in a brief and interesting manner for the information and amusement of the general reader.
