years in travel over the globe and a
small fortune in acquiring his treas
ures. There is probably not a second
hand book store abroad or at home
which has not been ransacked by him
at some time.
This odd library deals only with
strange and rare books, and within its
shelves one will find volumes which
are out of print, or can be secured only
for fabulous sums. They deal with
every branck~ Of occultisn. astrology,
black and White magic, Bibles of all
nations, the various symbols of different
secret societies, dreams, demOnoIogy,
apparitions, divinations, devil worship,
serpent worship, sex worship, spiritual
ism, witchcraft, hypnotism, possession
OF devils, alchemy, cabalistic lore, sOr-
cery-in fact. every phase CT the mystic
arts.
Prominent among the curiosities of
the sacred books Of nations is the Bible

known as the Zend Avesta-
