Of The Celebrated Mystical Divining Book, Formerly In The Possession of Her Emperial Majesty The Empress Josephine, who while on the Isle of France, had the whole of her future destiny divulged to her before she sailed to Europe, and it is an authenticated fact that Napoleon repeatedly consulted this work in matters of vital importance, an extract from it having been found in his carriage after the battle of Leipzig. This extraordinary work is now submitted to the World as the most surprising and infallible Oracle of Destiny extant.” “The first 12 pages contain 144 questions relating to all the causalities and events of a human life, divided into twelve houses, each having a separate and distinct class of twelve questions. The remainder of the work is divided into 12 circles, each circle containing the sixteen geomantic oracles of twelve answers each, thus forming 2304 answers to the 144 questions.
