REVISED AND ENLARGED EDITION.—NOW READY. An Encyclopaedia of Psychological Astrology By CHARLES E. O. CARTER, B.A. Crown 8vo. Cloth Gilt. 192 pages. 5s. net (5s. 4d. post free). In this Book the Author, who is in the front rank of modern astrological thinkers, has compressed into the most compact and systematic form the results of prolonged and careful research. Both in point of arrangement and matter it is essentially original, and will especially appeal to those who require something more than the mere reiteration of the quasi-scientific aphorisms of medieval writers. It shows, more than any other work, how rapidly modern Astrology is assuming the form of a complete Science, founded upon deductions drawn from carefully compiled data. At the same time the language is not unnecessarily technical, and the work will be of the greatest use to the beginner as well as the advanced student. Superfluous verbiage is entirely absent. It unquestionably marks an advance in the quality of books dealing with the subject, and is certain to become a standard work of the New Astrology. LONDON: W.
