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.

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. Formerly owned by Alfred Pearce, noted 19th century astrologer. Scarce. Boards rubbed and soiled, loose and shaken verso boards, chipping and cracking, printed paper label rubbed and worn, foxing throughout, unprofessional repairs, otherwise tight and sound, contents fine.

Ajouter au panierFull Calf. Etat : 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". Robert Cross Smith (1795-1832) was an English astrologer, writing under the pseudonym of "Raphael" Starting on upper and rear joints (cracking), rubbing to extremities, repair to folding color plate, otherwise tight, bright, and unmarred. Full blind stamped red calf with worn gilt decorative vignette. Red titling on tp. and charts.

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. In 1824, Smith became the editor of a new magazine, The Struggling Astrologer, but it failed for lack of subscribers after only a few issues. Then, two years later, he was offered the opportunity to edit an almanac, The Prophetic Messenger., which he edited for the rest of his life.
