About this Book Scan

Carefully reproduced in full colour from our original printing of the whole-year volume of the astrological magazine Coming Events spanning October 1899 to September 1900, which was the fourth overall year of publication for this Foulsham title, and the third year with Sepharial as editor. The founding editor was J. W. Herschell.

Sepharial was one of the most prolific British astrological writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and also edited a succession of astrological magazines, of which this was his second effort after Fate and Fortune (for which see under Sepharial).

Sepharial remained in place as editor of Coming Events until March 1901, when he was replaced by the little-known Hugh Evans after being controversially sacked as editor by the publisher.

All issues of Coming Events have become rare. Our original printing for Volume IV lacks pp. 305-8 (part of the May 1900 issue) and pp. 327-332 (part of the June 1900 issue) but is otherwise complete. The reduced price compared with Volumes 2 and 3 reflects these minor deficiencies in what is still a very extensive and hard-to-find primary source.
