Another Edition was issued by J. M. D. R. (Jean Mangin de Richebourg) in 4 volumes, much enlarged, 8vo, Paris, 1741 — 54. The last volume is very scarce as it was not issued for 14 years after vol III. A portion of it was also published at London, 1692, under the title of “Medicina Practica,” or ‘‘Practical Physick”: and again in 1707. It contains a very passable collection of Alchemical Works, although Du Fresnoy says that this translation of Geber is very bad, as he failed to choose the best edition of this author for his work, which is that of Danzic, 1682.

Albeiti, who was a friend of Andreas, wrote under the assumed name of Mcnapius, and the name of Schrveighardt is affixed to the third part in fun. According to Kloss he also assumed the following pseudonyms, viz. : Gometz, Joh. Procopius. Georg Odaxus, and it is con jectured that Agrostus himself might also belong to this collection.

An Impartial Collection from the History of the Rosicrucians, with some fine plates, hy a most erudite writer. He adopts the view that the order existed long before the 17th Century, and proves the existence in the 14th Century of “An association of physicians and alchemists, who united their knowledge and their labours to attain the discovery of the Philosophic Stone.”

631 Soane (George) New Curiosities of Literature and Book of the Months. 2 vols. 8vo. London, 1847. (Second Edition, with plates, 2 vols, 1849.)
In Vol II., p. 35, a chapter is devoted to Rosicrucianism and Free¬ masonry and the positions very fully reviewed, the author coming to the conclusion, however, that the “Fama” was not intended to describe a Society really existing, although he adduces some excellent evidence to shew that it was put forward by Andreas, there being nothing to show on the face of it by whom it was written. This author has got the date of the Ist Edition of the “ Universal Reformation ” correct as being a.d. 1614, but he is hopelessly out in his subsequent dates : he evidently had a meagre library at his disposal.

Henry More (The Platonist) wrote under the name of Alazonomastix Philalethes ; Vaughan could hardly expect his publications to pass un¬ noticed, and he aroused the ire of this Cambridge Scholar. Later on however he retaliated in the work called, “The Man Mouse, etc.,” which in its turn called forth More’s reply, “The Second Lash, etc.”; but our worthy Adept was not to be outwitted, and wishing to have the last word, issued another counterblast in his work, “The Second Wash, or the Moore scoured once more, etc.,” which ended the matter.

London, printed for Matthew Smelt, next door to the Castle, near Moor Gate, 1669.

As Vaughan died in 1665 I presume that this is a spurious publication.

Collation (iv) 327 pp.
The First Edition of this work, which treats of the Rosicrucian ideas of Elemental Spirits, “ Gnomes,” ‘‘Undines/’ &c. The chief figure in it is said to be taken from G. F. Borri, who is the imaginary Count de Gabalis ; although written in a satirical vein yet it contains profound truths ; possibly the author found it necessary in those days to dissem¬ inate knownledge in this fashion. It is also stated thal Pope in his work, “ The Rape of the Lock^ obtained his ideas of the Elementaries and the general outline from this work.
683 — The Count de Gabalis, or the Extravagant Mysteries of the Cabalists exposed, in five pleasant discourses on the Secret Sciences. Done into English by P A. Gent, with short Animadversions. 12mo.

A Burlesque on the original work, and presumably only written to enable it to be sold on the reputation enjoyed by the re-issue of the original one. Another edition of this Burlesque was published at Amsterdam by P. Mortier, but contains no date (circa 1780).

A tine Edition beautifully Illustrated, the Notes and Editing are by Mrs. C. Tarbell Dudley, they display a rare intuitive Insight into the Esoteric Rendering, and appeal very strongly to one’s Emotions. The Spiritual side of mv Nature was forcibly moved whilst reading the Work.
Several other Editions of this Work have appeared in many Languages.

This work contains a translation of the u Universal Reformation” ; also the “ Chymical Wedding ,” and a general survey of the whole move¬ ment. 1 cannot, however, do better than quote an extract concerning it from the privately printed Transactions of the Metropolitan College of Soc. Ros. in Anglia for 1891-92, page 10, viz. “He compiled this work and wrote his comments on Bosicrucianism when entirely an outsider to the Hermetic Orders, but since that date he has made the amende honorable to this Society and has entered into the studies bv a recognised portal, and has expressed himself well satisfied to have done so.”
I will now further quote, in Mr. A. E. Waite’s own words, from a maga¬ zine he edited, “The Unknown World,” Vol I, No. I, 1894, page 29, viz.: — “Much has come to light in these matters since the year 1887, and the work as it stands is in need of a thorough revision.”

This work was written against Agnostus being especially directed against J. Faulhaber. I expect Wehe was associated with the Jesuits, as Agnostus cut up the work issued by them (vide Chnstophorus , and Agnostus’s reply); hence their furious onslaught in the present work.

“It has been believed by many, and not without good reason, that these terse and enigmatic utterances enshrine a profound system of mystical philosophy, but that this system demands for its full discernment a refinement of faculty, involving as it does a discrete perception of immaterial essences” (Introduction by L.O.).
This a charming work. The notes are by an advanced student and exhibit a rare view of spiritually refined ideas. Would that we had a few more such to leaven our present materiality.

The Ancient Mysteries have ever rivetted the attention of the world’s most earnest thinkers, and this Book is a valuable contribution along that line of thought. As the author justly points out, “ The Hermetic Doctrine explains the identification of the Spiritual and Immortal Being

Amongst other things this author endeavours to shew that Bacon was the founder or head of some secret society as prefigured by his “New Atalantis;” that the Rosicrucian manifestoes, fame, and rise correspond with Bacon’s life and death; that John Heydon identifies Bacon’s “New Atalantis” with the land of the Rosicrucians, and many other details of a similar character, some of which are unworthy of attention.

It was originally intended to issue this work in 1874, but when Mackey brought out his larger and fuller work in that year, it was decided to discard its publication. However, in 1878, the Editor plucked up heart enough to issue it at one -fourth the price of the larger work, and I believe the result has justified his efforts.
