The subject of occultism, by which we mean those sciences, called transcendental and magical, a knowledge of which has been transmitted and accumu¬lated in secret, or is contained in books that have an inner or secret meaning, has been very fully dealt with during recent years by various students of eminence. But the works of these well-equipped investigators are, in most instances, unsuited to an elementary reader, and they are all somewhat expensive. It has remained for the results of their studies to be condensed into a port¬able volume, which shall conduct the inquirer into the vestibule of each branch of "the occult sciences," and place within his reach the proper means of prosecuting his researches further in any desired direction. It is such an unpretending but useful task which we have set ourselves to perform in the present volume, which em¬braces, as we would claim, in a compressed and digested form, the whole scope of occult knowledge, expressed in the language of a learner.
