This is a very early edition of one of the Secret Out Series of magic and magic-adjacent books. This contains tricks, allied arts and fun games to entertain. It contains a catalogue from 1871. I believe this is a first English edition, printed in 1870, with the catalogue bound in in 1871. There is no mention of second printing on the pages and the catalogue lists it is at the front as a new book. There is an earlier American edition (1866), but I believe this to be a first English edition.
