This book covers some of the important achievements and events in this contraversial person's life. Some believe him to be an incarnation of St. Germain. Others condemn him as a vile trickster. Read the facts and decide for yourself.

For many years Cagliostro has been confused with Joseph Balsamo, a notorious Sicilian scoundrel. His life has been disparaged in such a blemishing way that it has been hard to find out what is true and what are his enemy's reviles. Through the spotlight of Trowbridge one is able to shed some lights on this uncommon character. He is no saint, but he is far from being the devilish creature his enemies named him. A book worth reading!

Most of the books that were written about Cagliostro labels him as the king of liars and a scoundrel. Due to several facts in his life, Cagliostro has been confounded with Joseph Balsamo, a Sicilian rascal. Trowbridge shows us in his fine book that its impossible that Cagliostro could have ever been Balsamo, even though he is quite straighforward to paint us a caracther that sometimes is brilliant and other times is a pathetic human being. It's worthwhile reading about such controversial figure brought to us by Trowbridge's spotlight.
