A New and Complete Illustration of the Occult Sciences by Ebenezer Sibly [1751-1800], M.D. F.R.H.S., Embellished with Curious Copper-Plates, London, 1806.
Part of this text is online courtesy of Joseph H. Peterson, and a search for Ebenezer Sibly, A New and Complete Illustration of the Occult Sciences, Book 4 should find it; since he doesn’t allow any further reproduction, I have not linked to it directly.
The copy i have used for scans is one that i bought at D & E Lake Books on King Street in Toronto back in the early 1990s. It’s one of the few books i have listed for sale, mostly because we’re short of groceries.
