First printing with "1" at base of text on page 121. Weird mystery novel. "Bacon a successful author in the first quarter of the twentieth century of fiction that was both 'popular' and 'literary' has tended to fall between these two stools in the estimate of posterity. This is unfortunate as she was a skillful craftsman and had things to say especially on the subject of the emancipated modern woman where her views manage to contain nuance skepticism and passion. She also had a recurrent interest in the supernatural as documented by Dorothy Scarborough in her important early study The Supernatural in Modern English Fiction. The main titles of relevance here are THE STRANGE CASES OF DR. STANCHON 1913 IN THE BORDER COUNTRY 1909 and the present title." - Robert Eldridge. Locke A Spectrum of Fantasy p. 26.

‎The Poetry-Drawing Book: Poems for Children to Illustrate and Color by Themselves‎

‎New York: Simon and Schuster 1960. First edition second printing of this interactive drawing book for children. The editors argue that conventional coloring books are "insulting to children's imagination and intelligence." In contrast The Poetry-Drawing Book offers young readers the opportunity to illustrate the text of forty different poems however inspiration strikes them and to sign their original contributions: "YOU are the artist from here on." Featured poems include Edward Lear's "There Was an Old Man with a Beard" Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Swing" and Gelett Burgess's "The Purple Cow." A graphically intriguing example of the turn in the 1960s to a more child-centered model of art education in the United States. Spiral-bound volume measuring 8.25 x 11 inches: 68. Original color pictorial wrappers. "Note to Parents and Teachers" on verso of front wrapper. Text printed on yellow white and blue paper with various decorations; many pages left blank for a child to complete.

The philosophical exposition of the experimental method in science which greatly influenced the creation and development of the first scientific academies—the "Invisible College" the Royal Society and the Académie Royale des Sciences with inestimable effect on the development of scientific thought.</p> <p> At a time when scholars still relied on classical authority and metaphysical speculation to learn about the world they lived in Bacon conceived a new means of acquiring true knowledge of the world via observation experiment and inductive reasoning the type of logical thinking that ascends from specific facts to the establishment of general laws and principles. Bacon saw this novum organum or "new instrument" as the means of bringing about a "great revolution" instauratio magna in thought. Once taught the new experimental method everyone would be capable of engaging in scientific investigation unlocking the secrets of nature and applying the results ideally for the betterment of humankind. Bacon's vision of science inspired the subsequent foundation of the first scientific academies and also opened up the question of science's relationship with government and society.</p> <p> Bacon originally envisioned the Instauratio magna in six parts of which only two were completed: De augmentis scientiarum 1623 and Novum organum which along with the introduction to the third part Parasceve ad historiam naturalem et experimentalem and two sets of Aphorisms makes up the present work.
