This last grand Discovery, has never yet in any age of the world, not at any time whatever been communicated, except by select oral Testimony. Invented by R.C.S. 1822. Author's holograph MS. Illustrated with pen-drawn horoscopic figures, sigils, talismans, etc. The latter part of the MS., from fol. 102 to the end, contains magical formulae, incantations, charms, etc.: it is perhaps incomplete.
