I'm dubious about the value of horary astrology, which attempts to predict future events or determine unknown information with great specificity. (For example: Where did I leave my car keys?) However, this is an interesting look at astrology's historical roots. Barclay translates the terms and methods of Renaissance astrologers into language a modern astrologer can readily understand. The actual practice of horary astrology requires such a radically different approach to astrological symbolism that it can't simply be picked up with a few hours of browsing in this or any book.
