About this Book Scan

Carefully scanned in full colour from our original printing purchased in the 2000s.

Henry Lemoine edited The Conjuror’s Magazine for two years from its inception in 1791 until 1793. It was then relaunched as The Astrologer’s Magazine and Philosophical Miscellany. The first six issues under the new title were subsequently bound up and sold as a compendium volume. Our scan of this compendium volume is featured here.
