RARE FIRST EDITION of Barrett's classics of occult philosophy. This is the true first edition and not the reprint of c. 1875 with facsimile title-page and modern 's' types instead of the 'medial s' used in the setting of the original issue. Our copy includes the publisher's advertisement leaf lacking in most copies and with Cassiel, angel of Saturday, hand-coloured.
"The Magus did offer the public a fairly complete occult manual, which taught the principles of arithmology and correspondences, planetary and Kabbalistic magic, and scrying technique. A series of potted biographies of 'great magicians' completed the work. There was stuff aplenty for the aspiring magi, as well as for the gothic novelists who were a part of the same reaction against classicism and pure reason" (Godwin, The Theosophical Enlightenment, p 119). The book includes 4 fascinating hand-coloured plates with portraits of demons.
The book has separate title-pages: The true secret of the philosophers' stone: p.[51]; The magus; or, Celestial intelligencer: p.[71]; The magus; or Celestial intelligencer, book II. Part I. Containing magnetism, and cabalistical magic: p. [1], second count; The cabala; or, The sacred mysteries of ceremonial magic illustrated: p.[31]; On the particular composition of the magical circle ... book II, part III: p. [105]; The magic and philosophy of Trithemius of Spanheim: containing his book of secret things ... part IV: p. [128]; Biographia antiqua; or, An account of the lives and writings of the ancient and modern magi, cabalists, and philosophers: p. [141].
