SORCERY

Sorcery is not Magic, but stands in the same relation to Magic as darkness to light.
Sorcery deals with the forces of the human and animal soul, but Magic with the supreme power of the spirit.  -Franz Hartmann from the book PARACELSUS and The Substance Of His Teachings

The novel was too diverse, too random, too probabilistic to control. The only way to bring order was to introduce an inconsistent point of view. Dick Swiveller provides authorship by equivocation. His uncertainty is both internal and all around him. Only his ambivalence removes the barrier between writing and the imaginary world.“

This seems to allign with C W Heckethorn and his reference of this character in his book London Memories.  

Now, we know that Ceres, or Virgo, or the Virgin—that is, Venus—is the sign next to Leo; we further know from Swiveller's Diversionsn that ...read the  article
