Excerpt from Art Magic, or Mudane, Sub-Mundane and Super-Mundane Spiritism a Treatise in Three Parts and Twenty-Three Sections, Descriptive of Art Magic, Spiritism, the Different Orders of Spirits in the Universe Known to Be Related to or in Communication With Man, Vol. 1 of 3<br><br>In sending out Art Magic to the readers of The Progressive Thinker, we do so with the firm conviction that we are presenting them with a most remarkable book, one that will not only prove very interesting, but highly instructive. While many will not endorse by any means all that it contains, yet they will find therein a vast fund of historical, spiritual, philosophical and occult information, which will prove of priceless value.<br><br>Readers of Art Magic will find in its pages much "quaint, queer and curious" lore relating to occult subjects and occult formulas and practices during all past history and among the various esoteric cults that have flourished in the ages gone. Some of these cults are being revived, in some degree, at the present day.<br><br>The student who wishes to delve into the ancient mysteries, as traced in occult lore, will find this volume invaluable; for here is condensed a vast fund of information that could not otherwise be obtained, without many years of patient research, and with access to rare and scarce sources of knowledge.<br><br>There has been for several years a great demand for this work by thinking minds, as high as $25 being paid for a single copy, and even at that price the supply fell far short of the demand. The copyright having nearly expired, Mrs. Emma Hardinge Britten gave us the privilege to republish the work, thus giving to the many what was only possessed by a select few. We are profoundly thankful to this estimable lady for the privilege; the great good that will be accomplished thereby will redound to her credit. Just think of it, about 12,000 Ghost Lands distributed in one year, and even more than that number of Art Magic will be sent forth as gifts to the subscribers of The Progressive Thinker on conditions set forth in that paper.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
