The Omnium Gatherum is a combination work from the 1870s. One part fortune teller and one part temperance tract, it was distributed (apparently widely) in this era, a full five decades before prohibition took hold. The actual omnium gatherum, the fortune telling system it contains, is simplified and crafted in such a way as to become a social activity.
While not an occult manuscript in the most strict sense, the basic premise of the social oracle (as opposed to potentially solitary oracles) is a novel concept considering the content of comparable works of the same period and could be adapted for such use.
