Sketches of the traditions and superstitions of the past times and the marvels of the present day. This work contains a brief but comprehensive account of the occult sciences, and other matters of superstition or religious belief associated with them. It was the aim to combine as much historical and descriptive information as possible, with the great variety of subjects treated in this compendium. As a manual of general information, it professes to be circumstantial and exact as far as it treats any subject, but is not exhaustive in detail.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
