""The Power of Prejudice Against Cagliostro"" is a book written by W.R.H. Trowbridge. It is a historical account of the life of Count Alessandro di Cagliostro, an 18th-century Italian adventurer and self-proclaimed alchemist, who was accused of sorcery and imprisoned by the Inquisition. The book explores the power of prejudice and how it can be used to manipulate public opinion and suppress dissenting voices. Trowbridge delves into the political and social context of Cagliostro's time, examining the role of the Church, the Freemasons, and the Enlightenment in shaping attitudes towards magic and mysticism. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including contemporary accounts, letters, and court documents, to paint a vivid portrait of Cagliostro and his world. The book offers a fascinating insight into the intersection of power, politics, and belief in the 18th century, and sheds light on the enduring legacy of prejudice and persecution in our own time.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Cagliostro: Maligned Freemason and Rosicrucian, by W.
