• Crowley, Aleister, 1875-1947.

Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), born Edward Alexander Crowley in Leamington, Warwickshire, was an occultist, eccentric, author of poems, erotica, and writings in the field of magic.

The collection is a carbon typescript, consisting of three chapters or sections of a projected book on astrology. These three chapters are Prolegomena, Neptune, and Herschel or Uranus. The table of contents lists a total of eleven chapters. This version was produced in 1955 by "G.H.B." partly from a "copy" made in January 1930 by W. D. Stevenson and partly from the original typescript made about 1915.
