Octavo, original printed wrappers, stapled at spine (pamphlet style). 24 pp + covers. Illustrated by Nick Maloret. Issued as Haunted Library Publication #65. A Fine Copy. Previously unpublished paper by M.R. James, with a three-page Introduction by Rosemary Pardoe. Transcription of M.R. James' original manuscript held at Cambridge University Library. "Occult Sciences" was the title given by James to a lecture he gave on Feb 5, 1881 at the College Literary Society, when James was but 18 years old. The paper "reveals, if nothing else, plenty of obscure reading. The main authority is Collin de Plancy's "Dictionnaire Infernal." (Michael Cox, M.R. James: An Informal Portrait). But this is not really fair, as it is clear that most of his material was obtained from a far wider variety of sources - magical, pseudepigraphic, historical, archaeological and more - most of which must have come from in depth research in the vaults of the Eton School Library and the great Fellows' (College) Library. With three illustrations by Nick Maloret, a reproduction of the first page of James' manuscript, and a reproduction of "The Demon Andras", by Louis Breton, from the 1863 edition of de Plancey's great work.
