¶ Second edition of this very scarce fictionalized account of Cagliostro’s exploits, first published in 1838. “This is a novel of considerable power and interest; but frequently treading close upon dangerous ground. The famous quack, Cagliostro not only figures with his deceptions far more extraordinary than aught that animal magnitism can shew but shines as a revolutionist of desperate energy. Somewhat metaphisical speculations by the Duc de Fronsac and Cleveland (the hero) exhibit the former sensual appetites regardless of all humanities, and the latter misanthropy overcome by love, in a manner hardly reconciled by the distribution of moral justice at the conclusion. The characters are, however forcebly drawn, the early bloodshed of the revolution vividly described and the whole plot and story implicated with a strong dramatic effect” (London Literary Gazette).
