Production description

Magical Tdbits by Professor Hoffmann 


After writing Later Magic, Professor Hoffmann intended to follow it with a fourth book. However, advancing age and other engagements compelled him to abandon it. Nevertheless he wrote this volume, which is not really a part of his trilogy, but functioned as a place to put the material he already collected. A few Hartz items in this book have been already dealt with in Later Magic. Otherwise the contents is new.

It is interesting to note that although Hoffmann writes in the preface to Magical Titbits that he abandoned the book which should have followedLater Magic, he authored in 1918 a book called Latest Magic which according to the chosen title is this fourth book initially abandoned.

1st edition, 1911, George Routledge & Sons, New York; 221 pages.
