We have here the only English translation of this important Hermetic work. It is edited by the well-known Author, A. E. Waite, who, however, states in the Preface that the translator prefers to preserve his anonymity. The work has been well done and is a highly creditable production, whoever is responsible for it. I notice that there is one more Treatise in this Edition than in the fonfter. This is because there is a Key to the four Emblematical Plates alluded to in my last notice of the 1678 Edition. This Treatise now appears under the title of “The All-Wise Doorkeeper,” and is a most desirable addition.
