THE ROSICRUCIANS; their Rites and Mysteries. With Chapters on the Ancient Fire and Serpent Worshippers, and Explanations of the Mystic Symbols represented in the Monuments and Talismans of the Primeval Philosophers. By Hargrave Jennings. 10s. 6d.
⁂ A volume of startling facts and opinions upon this very mysterious subject, illustrated by nearly 300 engravings.
“Curious as many of Mr. Hotten’s works have been, the volume now under notice is, among them all, perhaps the most remarkable. The work purports to describe the Rites and Mysteries of the Rosicrucians. It dilates on the ancient Fire and Serpent Worshippers. The Author has certainly devoted an enormous amount of labour to these memorials of the Rose-Cross—otherwise the Rosicrucians.”—The Sun.
The New Books.
The Standard Edition.
ROBINSON CRUSOE. Profusely Illustrated by Ernest Griset. Edited, with a New Account of the Origin of Robinson Crusoe, by William Lee, Esq. Crown 8vo, 5s.
⁂ This edition deserves special attention from the fact that it is the only correct one that has been printed since the time of Defoe. All those alterations and blunders which have been discovered in every recent edition are here avoided. There is no living artist better adapted to the task of illustrating Crusoe than Ernest Griset.
