The Equinox (Volume I, Number III)

THE EQUINOX The subscription for 1911 will be raised from ten to twelve shillings. A library for the use of subscribers is in progress of forma- tion at 124, Victoria Street. The Editor will be glad to receive any books on mysticism, magic, Egyptology, philosophy, and similar subjects. Old books out of print are especially welcome. Another feather in the cap of H. P. B. That incomparable dodderer, Franz Hartmann, has published a portrait of Cag- liostro which she had given him. (She had it taken when she was Cagliostro, you understand.) This sounds all very reasonable and likely; but the diffi- culty is that the portrait is not of Cagliostro at all, but of Stanislas Augustus, the last King of Poland. So this is not a common simple miracle, you see; but a very wonderful miracle. However, I’m not going to be done; so I’ve bought a shilling photograph of Queen Victoria and intend to publish it next March as ME When I Was CLEOPATRA. As if this was not enough, we find The Annals of Psychical Research publishing in all good faith as a serious account “The Apparition of Mrs. Veal to Mrs. Bargrave,” which was written by Daniel Defoe as a puff of some ass’s Meditations on Death!
