[1] A more elaborately formulated pseudonym of Richard Morrison. One mistake made in F. Leigh Gardner’s Bibliotheca Astrologica (q. v.) was to attribute these works from the early 1860s to Morrison’s successor as Zadkiel, Alfred John Pearce, who in fact did not take up the pseudonym until a year or so after Morrison’s death in 1874 – and then did so only in editing Zadkiel’s Almanac
