"L�on Denis January 1 1846 � March 12 1927 was a notable spiritist philosopher and with Gabriel Delanne and Camille Flammarion one of the principal exponents of spiritism after the death of Allan Kardec. He lectured throughout Europe at international conferences of spiritism and spiritualism promoting the idea of survival of the soul after death and the implications of this for human relations. He is known as the apostle of French spiritism" "�According to some theosophists the return of the soul to flesh is effected usually each fifteen hundred years. But our own testimony gained from great spirits does not confirm this. Interrogated in great number and from various centers they reply that reincarnation is much more rapid than that. The souls eager for progress dwell a brief time in space; they demand a return to this world to acquire new merits. We possess information regarding past lives of certain persons gathered from the lips of mediums who know nothing of these people yet which was in perfect accordance with the facts and intuitions of the interested parties." .

Stephens from photographs of the Holy Land by Frith and six engravings after John Martinís Old Testament illustrations ìThe Fall of Manî ìThe Destruction of Pharaoh's Hostî ìJoshua commanding the sun to stand stillî ìBy Babel's Streams We Sat and Weptî ìBelshazzar's Feastî and ìThe Fall of Ninevehî.

Minimal wear to extremities. Hinges neatly reinforced. A bright fresh copy throughout. Near fine. Martinís Biblical paintings are among the finest ever produced: ìThe spirit in which Martin worked is suggested by a passage in his catalogue for the large oil painting ëThe Fall of Ninevehí which he exhibited in lonely magnificence in 1827: ëThe mighty cities of Nineveh and Babylon have long since passed away. The accounts of their greatness and splendor may have been exaggerated. But where strict truth is not essential the mind is content to find delight in the contemplation of the grand and the marvelous.

Hippocrene Books New York: 1990. Softcover. Brand new book. An epic tale of country life among the Polish and Lithuanian gentry in the years 1811 and 1812 Pan Tadeusz is Poland's best-known literary work and has been translated into every European language. Of the three English versions Kenneth R. Mackenzie's is considered the best. Although it has for its background the stirring period of history between the declaration of the Constitution of the Third of May and the launching of Napoleon's Russian campaign it is not these events which are the subject of the poem. The plot has the typical elements of a romantic historical novel: a feud between two ancient families a love story crossed by the feud a mysterious figure who dominates the action and a number of eccentric supporting characters humorously depicted. To Poles of all generations the life the scenes and the characters embody the ideals sentiments and way of life of the whole nation. But Pan Tadeusz is not a poem in praise of Poland. It is about a corner of that heavenly country to which all men belong and that is the basis of its universal and timeless appeal. Hippocrene Books, New York: 1990 paperback

University of Oklahoma Press Norman: 2013. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. A fine-grained examination of small-town society and daily life in the late 1800s. The general store in late-nineteenth-century America was often the economic heart of a small town. Merchants sold goods necessary for residents' daily survival and extended credit to many of their customers; cash-poor farmers relied on merchants for their economic well-being just as the retailers needed customers to purchase their wares. But there was more to this mutual dependence than economics. Store owners often helped found churches and other institutions and they and their customers worshiped together sent their children to the same schools and in times of crisis came to one another's assistance. For this social and cultural history Linda English combed store account ledgers from the 1870s and 1880s and found in them the experiences of thousands of people in Texas and Indian Territory. Particularly revealing are her insights into the everyday lives of women immigrants and ethnic and racial minorities especially African Americans and American Indians. A store's ledger entries yield a wealth of detail about its proprietor customers and merchandise. As a local gathering place the general store witnessed many aspects of residents' daily lives�many of them recorded if hastily in account books. In a small community with only one store the clientele would include white black and Indian shoppers and in some locales Mexican American and other immigrants. Flour coffee salt potatoes tobacco domestic fabrics and other staples typified most purchases but occasional luxury items reflected the buyer's desire for refinement and upward mobility. Recognizing that townspeople often accessed the wider world through the general store English also traces the impact of national concerns on remote rural areas�including Reconstruction race relations women's rights and temperance campaigns. In describing the social status of store owners and their economic and political roles in both small agricultural communities and larger towns English fleshes out the fascinating history of daily life in Indian Territory and Texas in a time of transition. Linda English is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Texas-Pan American. "Linda English makes skilled and sensitive use of store ledgers to paint a word picture of daily life in Texas and Oklahoma Territory and reveal the complex relationships and power dynamics between storekeepers and their customers."�T. Lindsay Baker co-author of Adobe Walls: The History and Archeology of the 1874 Trading Post University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 2013 hardcover
Birmingham England 1797. Oblong 4to. 7 1/2 x 11 inches. 143 engraved plates 13 folding on laid paper priced throughout in manuscript. Period calf-backed marbled paper covered boards Provenance: W. G. & Co. inscription on front endpaper A rarely encountered pattern book or trade catalogue of 18th century English furniture hardware including drawer pulls keyholes hinges locks castors bolts watch stands and more. By 1770 over thirty different brass foundries operated in Birmingham England making it the epicenter of furniture hardware design in the last quarter of the 18th century. At roughly the same period trade catalogues like the present began to be issued by both furniture and hardware makers alike. Although most of the brass foundry trade catalogues of this early period have no indication of the foundry the present pattern book is inscribed W. G. & Co. on the front pastedown. In all nearly 1000 designs are shown on the 143 plates from rather simple hinges and hooks to incredibly ornate pulls knockers watchstands etc. Although no engravers's names are identified it has been suggested that the foundries themselves produced such plates utilizing the talents of their own craftsmen who by their very occupation would have been highly skilled at etching on metal. Such pattern books "illustrate the beginning of what was then a new movement in the conditions of the crafts namely the growth of the organised factory as a means of production and distribution as compared with the earlier limitation of these functions to the efforts of individuals" Young.
