From the editor :
Originally published in 1860 as Histoire de la Magie, this English edition was translated by A. E. Waite in 1913. An invaluable source on the tradition of magic and occultism, The History of Magic is a classic text that includes clear and precise exposition of the procedures, rites, and mysteries of the occult sciences. When Waite said that "there is nothing in the occult literature to compare with it," he meant that it details every aspect of esoteric doctrine and practice, and every authority is cited. In his preface, Waite also says, "I have put on record an opinion that The History of Magic is the most arresting, entertaining and brilliant of all studies on the subject."
