The Astrologer's Magazine - 1894


I'm so excited, my friend Keith at Pulp Fiction Books discovered that Google digitized a book from the library of Harvard University. The Astrologers' Magazine - 1894. "A book dealing solely with all branches of astral science". It is volume 4 and isn't a direct match for the manuscript I have, but it most likely dates mine from between the 1890's – 1900. Not in copyright!!! 
Google states: "Public domain books are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that’s often difficult to discover. Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book’s long journey from the publisher to a library and finally to you."
We will keep looking for the Palmistry issue. THANK YOU KEITH !!!!!
