The Masonic Magician
The extraordinary story of Count Alessandro di Cagliostro with an English translation of his Egyptian Rite of Freemasonry. This book examines the case made against him, that he was an impostor as well as a heretic, and finds that the Roman Church, and history itself, have done him a terrible injustice.
Count Alessandro di Cagliostro (2 June 1743 - 26 August 1795) was the alias of the occultist Giuseppe Balsamo. Cagliostro was an Italian adventurer and self-styled magician. He became a glamorous figure associated with the royal courts of Europe where he pursued various occult arts, including psychic healing, alchemy and scrying. His reputation lingered for many decades after his death, but continued to deteriorate, as he came to be regarded as a charlatan and impostor, this view fortified by the savage attack of Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) in 1833, who pronounced him the "Prince of Quacks". Later works--such as that of W.R.H. Trowbridge (1866-1938) in his Cagliostro: the Splendour and Misery of a Master of Magic (1910)--attempted a rehabilitation.
