Half Calf. Zustand: Very Good+. Seventh Edition [First Edition thus]. Seventh Edition [First Edition thus]. Half Calf. Robert Cross Smith (1795-1832), a former carpenter, was an English astrologer, writing under the pseudonym of "Raphael." He also referred to himself as the Royal Merlin. He married in 1820 and moved to London, where he became interested in astrology. Together with G. W. Graham, he published a book on geomancy in 1822. Smith began to edit a periodical The Straggling Astrologer in 1824, but failed to receive enough subscribers and the periodical had to be discontinued after a few issues. He collected the issues of the failed periodical in a volume entitled The Astrologer Of The Nineteenth Century in the same year. From 1827 until his death in 1832, he edited an astrological almanac, entitled The Prophetic Messenger. Also published by Smith was The Familiar Astrologer and A Manual of Astrology, both in 1828. Smith died on 26 February 1832 in London. His almanac continued to be edited as Raphael's Ephemeris and would become a standard work in British and US American astrology. Raphael's Ephemeris popularized the system of Placidian system of astrological houses in the English-speaking world and in modern western astrology in general. Published posthumously. The name Raphael, one of the names given to one of the three archangels in the Old Testament, was used as Smith's pseudonym. The Astrologer of the Nineteenth Century covers, in quite dramatic prose, a multitude of occult topics in ten chapters, or "circles." Raphael contends that he believes firmly in astrology, fairly firmly in geomancy, and not much in magic rites, charms, or incantations. Includes many necromantic workings including a summoning spell for Oberon. (He only includes these last to satisfy "those who delight in the terrific, and the horribly sublime.") The book makes a range of arguments for the veracity of astorlogy, the most ingenious being that "the greatest rulers, and statesmen, and chiefs, of the present age" are part of a conspiracy.

Full Calf. Zustand: Very Good+. Fourth Edition. Fourth Edition. Full Calf. "This essay is intended as a foundation for belief in revealed religion, in connection with the theory of celestial influences, or astrology." Richard James Morrison (15 June 1795 - 5 April 1874) was an English astrologer, commonly known by his pen name Zadkiel and best known for the series known as Zadkiel's Almanac. Morrison in 1831 issued The Herald of Astrology, subsequently known as Zadkiel's Almanac. In this annual pamphlet, he published predictions of the chief events of the coming year. Morrison wrote with the signature Zadkiel Tao-Sze. Morrison wrote such articles as The New Principia, or true system of astronomy, in which the Earth is proved to be the stationary centre of the Solar System (1868) which made him a charlatan in the eyes of scientists. In 1863 he won a libel suite against Admiral Sir Edward Belcher who wrote in the Daily Telegraph that Morrison was "the crystal globe seer who gulled many of our nobility about the year 1852." He was awarded twenty shillings (one pound) damages, but was deprived of his costs. The Athenaeum (16 May 1874, p. 666) noted that Morrison was "the restorer and Grand Master in this country of Tao-Sze, a secret society intended to be of immense power, and to outshine the Free-masons, but which, most probably, by his death, is reduced to two members, and inanition".

He was born in Bristol, in 1820 he married a Sarah Lucas and shortly after he moved to London probably to find work as a carpenter. It was whilst in London he made the acquantance of the balloonist G.W. Graham who was a fervent astrologer. This friendship led them to joint author a book on geomancy, Philosophical Merlin, in 1822.
