R. H. Trowbridge is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the life of the enigmatic figure Count Cagliostro, exploring the contrasting views regarding his character — whether he was a notorious charlatan or a misunderstood benefactor. Trowbridge seeks to challenge the prevailing narratives about Cagliostro and provide a more nuanced understanding of this famous figure associated with magic and alchemy. The opening portion introduces the book’s premise and the significant historical context surrounding Cagliostro. Trowbridge discusses the misconceptions and prejudices that have clouded Cagliostro's character throughout history, particularly stemming from his involvement in the infamous Diamond Necklace Affair. He notes the conflicting sources of information about Cagliostro, emphasizing how much of what is known about him is based on dubious reports from his enemies. The author expresses his intention to sift through the myths and present a more balanced portrayal of Cagliostro's life, hinting at the challenges in distinguishing fact from fiction surrounding this legendary figure.
