About the author
L. D. Broughton is credited as the author of The Elements of Astrology, reissued by Literary Licensing in 2014 as a reprint of the original 1906 edition. The book is a foundational, early twentieth-century guide to astrological practice, covering the zodiac signs, the planets, and the houses, and explaining how to read and interpret a natal chart according to the conventions of its period. As a reprint of a historical text rather than a newly written work, it is aimed at readers interested in the roots of Western astrological technique as it was taught in the early 1900s, and at collectors of early astrology literature, rather than readers looking for a contemporary introduction. The catalogue lists two editions of the same title from the same 2014 reprint run. No information beyond authorship of this text is given about Broughton in the material available.
