About the author

She is known almost exclusively for her book Mazzaroth: the Constellations, yet her exemplary life is probably more deserving of recognition than those of better known Victorian women.

[Jean Hoefling · Rating 5 out of 5]

A head-exploding 19th century book written by a British linguist and scholar that explores the origins of the Zodiac signs deep into the time of Adam, Seth, and Enoch, of antediluvian fame, and how the early signs (intended to communicate God's plan for redemption of humanity) were transmitted into the planispheres of other great and early civilization. This dates the "message in the stars" as far earlier than the Greeks, which popular belief often claims are its originators.
