… intended in this place to devote a little attention to the edition (save the mark) of the “Goetia” produced by Mr. A. E.

The spirits of the Goetia are portions of the human brain. Their seals therefore represent (Mr. Spencer’s projected cube) methods of stimulating or regulating those particular spots (through the eye).
