To my old friend

MERVYN BARON

of whom in these days, I see far too little but whose companionship, both in good times and in tad, has been to me a neverfailing joy.

D.W. AUTHOR'S NOTE

I desire to state that I, personally, have never assisted at, or participated in, any ceremony connected with Magic - Black or White.

The literature of occultism is so immense that any conscientious writer can obtain from it abundant material for the background of a romance such as this.

In the present case I have spared no pains to secure accuracy ol detail Irom existing accounts when describing magical rites or formulas for protection against evil, and these have been verified in conversation with cerUin persons, sought out for that purpose who are actual practitioners of the Art. ^ ^

, All the characters and situations in this book are entirely magmary but, m the inquiry necessary to the writing of it I found ample evidence that Black Magic is still practised in London and other cities, at the present day.

readers incline to a serious study of the f right to urge them, most strongly
