About this Book Scan
Raphael was a pseudonym adopted by successive editors of Raphael’s Almanac (originally Raphael’s Prophetic Messenger) from its inception in 1926 onwards.
Only two of the several Raphaels branched out into publishing multiple books under the same pseudonym. The first was the original Raphael, Robert Cross Smith. The second was the longest-standing holder of the position, Robert Thomas Cross, whose new book publications spanned from 1877 to the early 1910s; and many of them were still being reprinted long after his death.
One of the last books penned by R. T. Cross was Raphael’s Medical Astrology, which was first published in 1910. It was reprinted in 1924 and again in later undated reprints.
Our scan offered here is taken from our original printing of the 1910 true first edition.
