Corporations; A Study of the Origin and Development of Great Business Combinations and of Th... Book

As a whole this text does act as a good historical primer on the foundations of magical thought in Europe. The writing is a bit antiquated from the modern perspective, but understandable given the 1905 publication date. It is also important to note that the writing style can come off as "snobbish" at times since the author is effectively passing judgment on a large number of writers in antiquity. Regardless, this is a relevant text for those wishing to explore the development of intellectual thought in Europe and the work acts as a primer for the much longer "History of Magic and Experimental Science" by the same author.

This is a bit of a rare title (250 hand-numbered copies) so those wishing to read the text may wish to turn to other reprints.
