Lives of the Necromancers is an interesting account of some of the most notable people who have claimed or were claimed by others to have magical powers, written by William Godwin. William Godwin (1756 - 1836) was an English political philosopher, journalist, and novelist considered to be among the first exponents of utilitarianism and the first modern proponent of anarchism. He is best remembered for his two books "Enquiry Concerning Political Justice" and "Things as They Are; or, The Adventures of Caleb Williams". Contents include: "Ambitious Nature of Man", "His Desire to Penetrate into Futurity", "Divination", "Augury", "Chiromancy", "Physiognomy", "Casting of Lots", "Astrology", "Oracles", "Delphi", "The Desire to Command and Control Future Events", "Commerce with the Invisible World", "Sorcery and Enchantment", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
