I saw that too; it's a catalog description of the handbill shown in my second link, above.

NOTE other nonce-sesquipedalianisms: papiromance, meloskelothermick(!)

edit: I wish I could fully make out the descriptions under those headings, for instance:

An Operation in Papiromance; By which Mr Boaz will discover(?) the evil(?) Thoughts of any Person in ?, without asking a single Question; and, however impossible it may appear, he will communicate(?) the Thoughts of one Person to another without the Assistance(?) of lipwork(?) or Writing.

editē - not to by confused with pyromancy
