"Signs, Omens, and Superstitions" is technically a skeptic work from its era. While it provides an enormous number of individual tales and practices related to superstition, it technically spurns them all.The folklore here (for folklore it is) ranges from the animal, plant, and mineral, through the strictly philosophical. From good and bad luck to marriage, relationships, child rearing, and every other field, and from moles on the flesh to signs in dreams, Cielo's excellent work includes a bit of everything from dozens of cultures and thousands of years of history, for the reader to consider.

A little book of moderate price that will afford immense amusement for gift purposes is "Signs, Omens and Superstitions," by Astra Cielo, who has gathered the superstitions of many countries into one volume. In it one may learn the portents in regard to weddings; the uses of rings of different sorts, the influence of various holy days and holidays upon one's luck, signs of good and ill luck, portents connected with the body, superstitions connected with different professions; in fact here is a whole little encyclopedia, even to lucky marriage days according to astrological calendar. Heretofore one could only get such information in an expensive book. The mystery of numbers is traced back to the days of Pythagoras, and the science of numbers and their influence upon the letters of your name-each letter representing a numeral-is now a cult. In some cases the superstition is traced to its origin and in others it is not. Such a book will have a ready sale. -The Bookseller, Newsdealer and Stationer, Vol. 49
