a fine plate (p. 161) ; Book III, Long Life ; Book IV, Virtue of Minerals ; Book V, Gold and Rosicrucian Medicines ; Book VI, The Rosie Cross Uncovered, with a most charming piece at the end, called “The Rosie Crucian’s Prayer to God.” The whole of this book is virtually a reprint of the preface to his work, “The R.C. Axiomata,” published in 1660, and which I have already noticed.

This work is a very ably written and is entirely devoted to Geoman cy, with Astrology and the Angels, corresponding to the Geomantic figures, their Sigils and influences for good and evil. Most of the modern Geomantic works are taken from this and earlier books. Altogether, our author presents the subject in a very exhaustive and lucid manner, and judging by the number of works he quotes, it must have taken him a considerable time to compile. A proof of this is the various dates to the parts, one being published each year.

Dedicated to Aubrey de Vere, Earl of Oxford, Kt. of the Garter, etc., offering him this work on “ Rosie Crucian Philosophy.” The second dedication is to F. Hollis, Esq., and in it he appears to have incurred the enmity of the Church by his doctrines, as this work is really a reply to charges brought against him by the Clergy, and, although he does not mention names, yet he quotes a sermon preached at St. Paul’s Cathedral on 8th May, 1664, accusing him of Atheism. The work shows a more finished style and maturer judgment.

This work contains some very choice alchemical mystical plates, and shews to my mind that he evidently got hold of valuable knowledge, which he gives out in a covert manner. A Mr. Fredk. Talbot also gives an account of John Heydon’s life, mentioning that he was related to Sir Christopher Heydon, whom I strongly suspect was the channel through whom he obtained his r.c. knowledge, as he speaks so eulo- gistically of him in another of his books, although it is very possible he may have picked it up in his travels, as Talbot states that he went to Spain, Italy, Arabia, Egyt and Persia. He was descended from Julius Heydon, the King of Hungary and Westphalia, and Ceesar Heydon in Borne, and was articled to a Mr. Mic Petley, an attorney of Clifford’s Inne, afterwards fighting for the king ; and, after travelling, wrote most of his books, — recounting a list of the wonderful predictions he made concerning his Majesty, etc. He also appears to have had a good deal of influence at Court, as when he got into trouble on one occasion we find that the Duke of Buckingham espoused his cause with great success. He was also not without vulgar copyists, and others who emulated his success. He appears to have been consulted by many high ladies about various divinations, but he did not marry, although of a handsome appearance. On the whole, from the internal evidence of his writings, he appears to have gone through the lower grade of the r.c. Order and to have given out much of this to the world. Whether he was chosen as a fitting instrument to do this at that time I am unable to say, but judging that it came so shortly after the publication of the important Fama, etc., in Germany, I should not consider it unlikely that those who ruled such matters should deem it

This monument of learning and research could hardly be complete without a reference to the Rosicrucians. He makes mention of the Society in several places, and states his opinion that this and other Secret Orders existed long before Christianity. He further states that “The Papist Convocations and Councils had always endeavoured to suppress these Orders because they were Christians before the rise of Romish Christianity. Verb. Sap.

As regards the Isiac Tablet itself, I stayed at Turin when travelling abroad on purpose to see this most interesting piece of antiquity. It is made of hammered bronze inlaid with silver, and although portions have been removed by some vandal, yet considering its antiquity it is in a good state of preservation. The following authors have written about it and several have reproduced copies of it: — J. G. de Hohenburg, B. de Montfaucon, Dr. S. Shuckford, Wm. Warburton, P. E. Jablonski, A. Kircher, Count Caylus, Abbe Banier, &c. For a critical dissertation and a modern account of it on Hermetic lines, I cannot refer my readers to a better authority than my worthy colleague, Dr. Wynn Westcott : particulars of his work are to be found in this catalogue under his own name.

This is a curious collection of alchemical processes, and I believe the author to have been a Frater of the R.C. Fraternity, both from internal evidence and also the fact that he ends up with the words “Soli Deo Gloria.” This was a very common way amongst the fraternity of finishing their writings, and as a general rule is a pretty sure index to identify them by, whenever you meet with it.

We have here a work of a most discursive character. It contains a mass of ill-digested information upon Rosicrucians, Antiquities, Legends, etc. His remarks hardly crystallize ; they are more suggestive than positive, and deal too much with the physical aspect of our subject. In the second and third editions he has deliberately cribbed the occult plates from Welling’ s Opus, published at Franckfurt, 1760, without any acknowledgment whatever. The- same remark applies to the Gnostic gems in the 3rd edition, which are taken from an old work issued by the famous Plantin Press at Antwerp, 1657. It was written by J. Macarus, viz., “ Abraxas seu Apistopistus . . . de Gemmis Basilidianis, etc.,” and published in quarto, the plates being exceptionally fine ones of “The Gnostics,” etc.

The author devotes a number of pages to our subject, and has raised a storm of abuse from the Masonic Fraterny by venturing to assert that that Order had its rise from the R.C., who, after the fuss in Germany in the 17th century, came to England and started Freemasonry, Phoenix-like, out of its ashes.

381 — The Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum, inter¬ preted by the Tarot Trumps, translated from the MSS. of E.L., and edited by W. Wynn Westcott, M.B., with 8 finely coloured plates. 8vo. London, 1896.
Dr. Westcott obtained this valuable MSS. from the late Edward Maitland, who in his turn obtained it from the author, also deceased. I have been unable to exclude these famous modern mystical works on account of their excellent teachings and hermetic illustrations, as although the title Piosicnicictn can hardly be applied to them, yet their mysticism runs so closely on similar lines of thought that I feel justified in finding a place for them here. Some further entries are also to be found under Article “Manuscripts.”

This work is contained in a larger one, with the title “ Arccmorum,” or “ Syntagmatis Selectorum as two editions were published in 1613 and 1660. Its pagination is separate, and pp. 262 to 306 are headed “ D.O.M.A . Exercitatio Paracclsica nova de notandis ex scripto frater¬ nitatis De Rosea Cruce,” which contains an exhaustive criticism of the harmonic and magical philosophy of the Rosicrucian Fraternity : the rest of the work deals chiefly with alchemical processes.

Onr author in this work has evidently been placed in possession of further information since his former ones, as he shifts his ground entirely. He now admits that the Order does exist, and points out the advantages to be gained by joining it, as there is much wisdom and learning to be obtained by so doing ; and this is all done under the cloak of a critic — rather different to that of the position of Doubting Didymus taken up in his earlier works.

Folio. [Rupellse, 1677.] 15 Large emblematical plates, with 2 pages of dedication to King Louis XIV of France.
It is said that the whole of the physical Rosicrucian art of Alchemy is shewn in these 15 plates. They are certainly an exceedingly curious production, and those who have hitherto been ignorant of the existence of such a work should make a point of inspecting them whenever an opportunity offers. My copy is bound up with Manget’s large work on Hermetic Chemistry (vide Article, Manget, J. J.)

On the half Title there is a note that “The First, or Junior Grade has already appeared in the work, ‘ Der Rosenkreuzer in seiner Blosse .’ ” Vide Article; it would thus appear that this is the second work published by a Renegade Frater. It certainly appears to be genuine, and according to Kloss the Editor is Count von Lohrbach, at Munich.

In this work, published anonymously, Luchet attacked Illuminism. The third and fourth editions, slightly altered, and attributed to Mirabeau, were published under the title of “Histoire Secret de la Cour de Berlin,” a work of extreme rarity, which was ordered to be burnt at the hands of the Common Executioner.

A fine work, full of most carefully executed hand-coloured drawings, which appear to be reproductions of Nicholas Flamel’s “Book of Abraham the Jew.” They are not exactly the same in design, although intended, without doubt, to convey the same ideas. See, in connection with this, Article “ IVestcottR re “ Nicholas FlamelN

A curious MSS., marked on the cover, “Ex libris Camille Pichon her- meticse scientke amatoris,” and also sealed with his seal, C.P. It is a small folio of 43 pages, and appears to be a commentary on Flamel’s famous work. I should assign its date as being about a.d. 1800. It is without any illustrations.
394 Admission of Dr. Sigismund Bacstrom into the Society of Rosa Cruix by Le Comte de Chazal, 12th September, 1794.
This is a most interesting work, as it gives in full the terms of admission which were in use at that date and refers to the existence of the Order in 1490. The copy that 1 saw was one executed by the late well-known Mystic, Frederick Hockley, and his finely coloured frontis¬ piece is a reproduction of the seal of the Society, which is also the seal of the Red Medicine.

A very great curiosity ; excessively rare and nearly unique, not more than three copies being known. This is preserved in a volume called “Musseum Hermeticum et artis Cabalistica.” There are several other magical pieces with it, which hardly bear mention in this place as they have reference to knowledge contained in the higher grades.

This magnificent MSS., which is to be found in the British Museum (Hark, 3,469), contains 22 highly illuminated plates representing emblematically the processes in the search for the Philosopher’s Stone.

The Library of the Order in England possesses a translation of this MSS. and recently a reproduction & translation has appeared.

This piece of work is also most carefully preserved with the other as a monument of the Masonic zeal of S.A.S., and also for its valuable knowledge (vide Thory Acta, Vol. I., p. 85).

This rather important narrative contains some very interesting Rosi¬ crucian truths, and I have thought fit to enter it here as it might be overlooked. It has never been published separately, although well worthy of so doing.

This Encyclopaedia would scarcely be complete without making mention of the subject-matter of this work. Out of 947 pages, only three are devoted to Rosicrucianism ! ! ! Even the most case-hardened critic would smile if one called this a representative review. This is better, however, than the subsequent edition ; vide Lexicon of Freemasonry , 8th Ed., London, N.D., which only contains one and a half pp. of matter on the subject and indignantly repudiates any association with the Masonic Fraternity. This is rather hard on the Rosicrucian Society of England, whose ranks are recruited entirely from Master Masons of good repute. Verb. sap.

Thomas Norton, of Bristol, wrote his Ordinal of Alchymie about 1477, it was first published in English by Ashmole in his “Theatrum Chi- inicum,” A.D. 1652 ; an English work with a Latin title. However, Maier seems to have anticipated Ashmole, as it first appeared in print in the above work. The Tripus Aureus is also published in Latin in the 1678 Edition of the Museum Hermeticum.
