One of the peculiarities of Bulwer was his passion for occult
studies. They had a charm for him early in life, and he pursued
them with the earnestness which characterized his pursuit of other
studies. He became absorbed in wizard lore; he equipped himself
with magical implements, -- with rods for transmitting influence,
and crystal balls in which to discern coming scenes and persons;
and communed with spiritualists and mediums. The fruit of these
mystic studies is seen in _Zanoni_ and "A Strange Story," romances
which were a labor of love to the author, and into which he threw
all the power he possessed, -- power re-enforced by multifarious
reading and an instinctive appreciation of Oriental thought.
