[1] The contents of this work on the cultivation of hidden mental powers are mostly non-astrological, but one page is astrological, and the remainder gives insight into the author’s broader occult and self-help interests and thought

[4] With separate t. p. to [p. 73]: “Anhang – 1. Verzeichnis der Geographischen Positionen zum Gebrauche für die Astrologie”. With separate t. p. to [p. 83]: “2. Proportional Logarithmen zum Gebrauche für die Berechnung der Direktionen”
[5] German library records give 1910
[6] Swiss library records give 1910 for this original edition. There was also a slightly expanded undated second edition by the author that ran to 151 main pages
[7] Swiss library records give 1911

[12] These are presumed meant for use with the colour chart whose column widths their unitary spacings match, but each is in a considerably longer overall format
[13] The translation into English in itself is credited to Weaver by Charles Jayne in his foreword
[14] To these credits on the title page are further added on the copyright page those of an overarching production team: “Editor-in-Chief: Philip M. Rideout with Dodie Edmands and Jeanette Mall”. This would appear to have been quite a high-budget production
[15] The copyright to the English translation and adaptation is credited instead to Librairie Larousse, U.S.A., Inc.. It is apparent from the dj rear flap that Larousse was by this time a subsidiary company within the Mc-Graw-Hill Book Company
[16] No further printing date is indicated, but the original copyright of 1977 is credited to Librairie Larousse
[16a] One of a very small number of modern secondary texts seeking to encapsulate the whole of Hellenistic Astrology on a technical level, following on from Joseph Crane’s ‘Astrological Roots: the Hellenistic Legacy’ (q.v.). Twelve themed chapters spanning some 420 pages are given over to the treatment of techniques (pp. 165-589 inclusive). Additionally, Brennan devotes about 130 pages to the history of Hellenistic astrology (pp. 11-141 inclusive), including discussions of thirty known and legendary astrologers; and a further 22 pages to its philosophy (pp. 143-164)
[16b] These would appear to be designed to be cut out and made into a volvelle device, although in this case they have been retained intact in the binding
[17] CCFR and Worldcat records give 1939
[18] A self-fulfilling prophecy – the ugly black stamp mars the look of an otherwise near-flawless copy
[18a] A series of publications jointly edited at this time by Robert M. Berchman and John Finamore, supported by an editorial board of three other scholars
[19] Purports to be a presentation of Morin’s method of astrology
