ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE,
PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
WINTER SEASON, 1855.

THE GREAT WIZARD OF THE NORTH
begs moot respectfully to announce that this favourite place
of amusement will OPEN on MONDAY, Sept. 3d, under new au-
spices, and with a series of Extraordinary Performances. As every-
thing the Wizard lays his hand on necessarily undergoes some
startling change, the Lyceum Theatre will, by a wave of his Magic
Wan,i, be instantly transformed into the Wizard's Psycompaitheum :
while the cl 'es of Enterta'nmenti presented within its walls will be
as unlike anyth'ng that has been seen before as it is rosoible to con-
ceive. Preparations have been in progress for many months past to
produce these Entertainments on e scale of magnitude and excellence
worthy of the Wizard's fame and, poxilarity. His assistant spirits
have beeu ordered to spare no expense in the compounding of their
spells; and the result it is hoped,will he an Entertainment which,
for " startling effects," will far tstrip the wildest French melo-
drama; with "rapid changes" ni Furprising than an actor's play-
ing twenty parts, in twenty di gent dresses; with tricks more
wonderful than those of an adulterating tradesman : and " trans-
formations" which would make theralchemists of old expire with
envy.
PROFESSOR ANDERSON ,(the Great Wizard of the North) having
completed the entire circuit of the globe, and visited almost every
part of Europe, Am Tice, 'lndia, and Australia, attended everywhere
with a degree of success unexampled, he believes, in the career of
aDV individual aspiring the titles of a CO,M, politan artiste, will give
his extraordinary DELASSEMENS MAGIQUES in the above
Theatre for a limited period, nreparatory to his final retirement
from punlic life. No exertion will be spared on his part to secure
the continuance of the public favour which he hag hitherto enjoyed
wherever he has presented himself. On the Continent from
Petersburg to Madrid; in America, from Canada to Me-ico, and
from New York to San Francisco; everywhere, in short, hive the
Wizard's marvels succeeded most effectually in "astonishing the
natives" of the various countries visited. His performances have
been prtroni. ed "y audiences amounting in the ag,regate to very
many_ millions ; and he is the only British Professor of his art
who, in addition to having been honoured by all the Courts of
Europe, has also been commanded to perfoi'm before her Majesty
the QUEEN:

Without attempting to exalt the Professor's art beyond its due
deserts, let it suffice to say it is his art. He has devoted himself
for years tO the perfecting it, and rend ring it more flt'ed to amuse
and entertain the public.- That he has been successful in his efforts
he thinks, from what he has said, is pretty certain ; indeed a life-
time spent in diligent pur-nit of excellence in any art, what,c-er it
maybe, can scarcely fail in producing some degree of efficiency.
It is the result of this long study that will he presented at the
Lyceum Theatre. Feats in Modern Magic hitherto unattempted Will
be exhibited by the mid of apparatus outrivalllng any that has been
previously constructed.

Anoth r feature in Professor Anderson's Delassemens Magiques
will be a complete disclosure of son of the principal impostures of
the age, with illustrations of the mechanism, mystery, and mischief
of •Ipirit-rapping, Table-turning, Clairvoyance, and other delusions,
to be classed generally tinder the now popular head of the " sell "
theory. In the Wizard's 'performances there will be found mirth,
for those who seek merriment ; mystery, for those who fancy the
mysterious ; paradoxes, for the lovers of the paradosjeal ; wonders,
for those who like the wonderful ; startling surprises, 'or those eager
for excitement. There will be science for the sage, wisdom for the
philosopher, art for the artistic, and cheerfulness for all. It will be
the Professor's object. in fact, to produce a play each night in which
the audience themselves shall be the actors, and which, whatever
the plot may be, hall certainly be free from the fault of many mo-
dern dramas —the fault of lacking incident or exciting situations and
unexpected denouemens.
Such will be the general character of the Wizard's Banquet of
Wonders. It will be an ordinary to which he will welcome all.
The bill of fare will shortly be published in the programme now
preparing; and Professor Anderson, the carver of the feast, will
spare no effort to please the t-,ste of every guest who may honour
his table with his presence—cutting it fat or lean as each may wish.

On MONPAT, Sentember 33, and every night during the week,
PRnFESSOR ANDERSON, THE GREAT WIZARD OF THE
NORTH, will have the honour of presenting his new series of
DELASSF:MENA NIAGIQUES, or the Wonders of the Ancient
Magi, and the most ren ~rneci of Modern Magicians. The Great
Wizard will select the most recherché experiments of his various
programmes—from that submitted by him to her Majesty, at Bal-
moral, to that which obtained the aliproval of the President of the
United States ; together with sp'ciai novel feats, invented express y
for the occasion, and embracing his extraordinary and amusing
trationa of Spirit-Rapping. The .Eptertainment wll consist of

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, an}
-tiler class of disease known to modern pathologists. ' Its perusal is
•articularly recommended to persons entertairing secret doubts of
taeir physioal' condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
tao health, happiness, and privileges to which every human bring is
e sitled

It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are
,rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated without
acurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
le heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
try be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
.nd how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
tr,at there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
.erangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
^he Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
1' actice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
► fortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant
emlirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
faith in their pretensions.
