 Southpaw - Nitrate Online Review
Like a beautiful flower blooming in a field of weeds, we find Francis Barrett breaking the social handicaps that have cuffed and taunted his family and neighbors, many living in poverty as the equivalent of Irish gypsies.
Francis’ training facility is the streets, sidewalks, and homes in his immediately vicinity, but more often just a graffiti covered rusting trailer in his backyard, a barren stretch of hillside where his family moved in 1980 with seventeen other families.
Francis embodies the stuff of folk and sports hero as he battles discrimination and fierce competition while rising through the amateur ranks to become the first Traveller to gain prominence in the ring.

 -- MONAS.nl -- book review - a complete system of occult philosophy by francis barrett 1801
Conclusion: if you are looking for a summery of the occult philosophy until the time of Barrett, you won't find what you were looking for getting "The Magus".
Judging this book Barrett was a Christian and probably even with an antropomorphical God-view.
He seems to have been well-read and surely knew most of the magical and occult classics of his time from "Poimandres" (one of the the oldest Hermetic texts) to Agrippa's "De Occulta Philosophia" (which seems to have a great influence on Barrett).

 The Magus, by Francis Barrett Index
Barretts' magnum opus embodies deep knowledge of Alchemy, Astrology, and the Kabbalah, and has been cited by the Golden Dawn and other occult and esoteric movements as source material.
The biographical section has been deprecated by authorities such as Waite, and it's not even certain that it was written by Barrett; it may have been added as filler by the printer.
Written in 1801 in the middle of the 'Age of Reason', sandwiched between Newton and Darwin, this was possibly the last epoch that a work like this could be composed.

Francis Barrett plagarized 100% of this book from Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy, so there is some good information present, but none of it is original.
The original set of books was first published in 1801 by its author, Francis Barrett, who had an extensive background in the medieval and occult sciences.
Barrett like Esuebius pulls together a lot of older information that, again, puts one in a p[osition to better consider reality and your p[lace in it with God.
