Summary: A Great Book for Those Interested In Ancient Talismans.
Review: Shows the construction of each of the talismans, some of which will (when made properly) enable you to do things such as control others, the elements, find treasure, etc.

Summary: Perhaps a source of Tolkien?
Review: This book is a goetic romance as A.E.Wait has said. The reference for the young French soldier, who inherited the magic legacy of an old man of the Pyramid seems to push the possible date of the book after the Napoleonic expedition, i.e. the first quarter of the 19 century. The original was French but purports to be translated from "the language of the Magi".
The book is absolutely unorthodox, its symbolism is very sincretistic and controversial but not without a charm. The twenty talismans and the twenty magic rings could be interesting for Tolkien's funs, but not an easy challenge to understand the role of this book in Tolkien's imgaination, if any.
