IN this Work, which we have written chiefly for the information of
those who are curious and indefatigable in their enquiries into
occult knowledge, we have, at a vast labour and expence, both of
time and charges, collected whatsoever can be deemed curious and
rare, in regard to the subject of our speculations in Natural
Magic--the Cabala--Celestial and Ceremonial Magic--Alchymy--and
Magnetism; and have divided it into two Books, sub-divided into
Parts: to which we have added a third Book, containing a
biographical account of the lives of those great men who were
famous and renowned for their knowledge; shewing upon whose
authority this Science of Magic is founded, and upon what
principles. To which we have annexed a great variety of notes,
wherein we have impartially examined the probability of the
existence of Magic, both of the good and bad species, in the
earliest, as well as in the latter, ages of the world. We have
exhibited a vast number of rare experiments in the course of this
Treatise, many of which, delivered in the beginning, are founded
upon the simple application of actives to passives; the others are
of a higher speculation. In our history of the lives of
Philosophers, &c. we have omitted nothing that can be called
interesting or satisfactory. We have taken our historical
characters from those authors most deserving of credit; we have
given an outline of the various reports tradition gives of them; to
which are annexed notes, drawn from the most probable appearance of
truth, impartially describing their characters and actions; leaning
neither to the side of those who doubt every thing, nor to them
whose credulity takes in every report to be circumstantially true.
