"By a Searcher After Truth"
THE RAPPERS: OR, THE MYSTERIES, FALLACIES, AND ABSURDITIES OF SPIRIT-RAPPING, TABLE-TIPPING, AND ENTRANCEMENT
No Date [1854] 1st edition. Original Green Cloth with embossed gilt illustrated front board & spine Small 8vo, [i]-x, [11]-282 pages; with 6 pages of undated ads. Includes 2 dramatic frontispieces separated by a tissue guard, one shows casting out the evil spirits, the other shows table tipping (reproduced in gilt on the front cover), both with attractive young women at the center. Published just 6 years after the founding of the Spritualist movement in America. Spiritualists often set March 31, 1848, as the beginning of their movement. On that date, Kate and Margaret Fox, of Hydesville, New York, reported that they had made contact with a spirit that was later claimed to be the spirit of a murdered peddler whose body was found in the house, though no record of such a person was ever found. The spirit was said to have communicated through rapping noises, audible to onlookers. The evidence of the senses appealed to practically-minded Americans, and the Fox sisters became a sensation
.many early participants in Spiritualism were radical Quakers and others involved in the mid-nineteenth-century reforming movement. These reformers were uncomfortable with more prominent churches because those churches did little to fight slavery and even less to advance the cause of women's rights. Such links with reform movements, often radically socialist, had already been prepared in the 1840s, as the example of Andrew Jackson Davis shows. After 1848, many socialists became ardent spiritualists or occultists. Socialist ideas, especially in the Fourierist vein, exerted a decisive influence on Kardec and other Spiritists (Wikipedia). Only one copy has appeared at a major auction house in the last 100 years. OCLC: 504493987. OCLC lists only 1 copy worldwide (British Library). Rear board also attractively embossed. Spine sunned, occasional light foxing. Very Good Condition. An excellent attractive copy of this exceedingly rare book. (AC-22-20)

Inscribed Broadside.
N.p.: N.p. 1888. Broadside measures 6 x 9 1/2 inches and has an image of Jewett with apparition-like illustrations of Lincoln and George Washington and his wife behind him. In manuscript above and below the image is written "Lincoln and Washington Family come at my earnest call in silent prayer much to my joy in December 1888 at 82. California Solomon Wright Jewett It is also inscribed and initialed by Jewett on the recto- "“Interesting enough to be surrounded in a frame and in a glass only think of calling down our friends from Heaven. JWS 1890" Broadside has three horizontal fold-lines and the middle fold has a one inch separation at the right margin old stain to top of page. A fragile and scarce item of Spiritualist Vermont and California interest. No copies located.Solomon Jewett was one of the most earnest and grandiose of all believers and practitioners of Spiritualism in 19th century America. Born and raised in Vermont he became a wealthy sheep farmer in both Vermont and California. After losing his wife of seven years he became interested in Spiritualism. He also traveled extensively in Europe and other places picking up his further beliefs as he went along. Soon enough he was referring to himself as a “Shepherd of Vermont and California†“Indian Healer†“Doctor of Magnetism†and “Medical Doctor.†He soon began to claim that he could channel Washington and Lincoln among many others. "He also associated with and befriended a spirit artist Wella P. Anderson and his wife Lizzie “Pet†Anderson a medium who worked in New York City and Oakland California. Jewett acquired from them eighteen pencil portraits that depict well-known historical and mythical figures spanning many geographical locations and historical times that apparently “visited†the artist under the influence of Jewett’s presence" Henry Sheldon Museum. He assembled a large collection of Spirit art and photographs and that collection remains extant in The Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont History. Jewett died in 1905 N.p. unknown

[Occult] [Spiritualism] Hack, Gwendolyn Kelley
Modern Psychic Mysteries: Millesimo Castle
London: Rider & Co 1929. First edition. 8vo 367 1pp. Photos illustrations throughout. Publisher's gray cloth boards ruled in black and lettered on spine in illustrated jacket. Spine slightly cocked scattered mild foxing throughout more pronounced on page block edges. Pale spotting to upper corner of rear board. Jacket with some staining to front panel toning to spine and a few edge tears. Very good. <br /> <br /> Scarce first edition in jacket of this account of the series of séances in 1927-28 arranged by Marquis Carlo Centurione Scotto at the medieval Millesimo Castle in Italy. The Marquis was attempting to contact his son who had died in an airplane crash the year prior and sitting at the séances was accomplished miniature painter and mental medium Gwendolyn Kelley Hack 1877-. <br /> <br /> Hack reported on the extensive range of phenomena which was said to have occurred including the materialization of hands and feet; the levitation of the Marquis to a height of six feet while sitting in a heavy chair; apports and asports; antique weapons engaging in a noisy battle; the movement of sometimes weighty and bulky objects; direct writing; thuds and bangs; the playing of musical instruments as they floated; and other such instances. On one occasion the sitters were creating a favorable atmosphere by singing a fascist song when an illuminated picture of Mussolini was transported from an adjoining room through closed doors. Perhaps most famously the Marquis was transported or asported from the locked séance room necessitating a two-and-a-half-hour search of the castle and grounds. He was eventually found after Mrs Hack received an automatic message through her spirit guide Imperator supplying his location: he was fast asleep on a pile of hay and oats in a granary within the stables the door locked from the outside.<br /> <br /> The aftermath of this publication included scathing reviews from Baron Albert von Schrenck-Notzing Rudolf Lambert and Theodore Besterman. The latter's review was so damning it caused Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who was friends with the Marquis to resign from the Society for Psychical Research and begin his open attacks on the society for its bias against spiritualism. <br /> <br /> A scarce book which is very important for its content in terms of 20th century spiritualism and counter movements. Also interesting is the fact that the events surrounding its publication proved to be important and tragic in ACD's life very much influencing his later writing. <br /> <br /> <br /> .

Spine cocked some scuffing to boards along bottom edge occult bookstore stamp to ffep. Jacket with shallow chipping at spine ends and corners else nicely preserved. Very good. <br /> <br /> Scarce first edition of this short book written not by a spiritualist but a linguist.

The jacket blurb states:<br /> <br /> "To his astonishment the voice explains and corrects a number of passages from the Shih King of Confucius. Some of these poems have been unintelligible for ages and the subject of endless controversy."<br /> <br /> This book was also published in the U.S. in an illustrated jacket but the U.K. edition remains scarce in the plain black and white jacket.

[Spiritualism] [Paranormal] Paine, Albert W
The New Philosophy
Bangor ME: O.F. Knowles & Co. Printers 1884. First edition. 8vo 168pp. Bound in publisher's rust cloth boards with black ruling and gilt lettering on spine beveled edges. Inscribed by Paine to Miss. A.E. Scammon and dated in 1894 on the ffep. Pages toned boards lightly bumped and rubbed at spine ends and corners. Near fine. <br /> <br /> An interesting and attractive Bangor imprint being a metaphysical tract by lawyer and writer Albert Ware Paine 1812-1907. A short review in The Literary World from 1884 describes the premise of the work:<br /> <br /> "His new philosophy is simply the theory that the spirits of the dead are living about us on every side; having this earth as their local habitation and yet not being trammeled by the limitations of space and time; influencing the living in a myriad ways for good and evil. By this influence he thinks all that is mysterious in human nature necromancy witchcraft dreams second-sight clairvoyance hypnotism genius insanity faith-cures etc. etc. can be explained."<br /> <br /> <br /> This copy inscribed to a Miss. A.E. Scammon of Chicago whom we find mentioned in various religious journals from the time as being chair of the women's committee of the New Jerusalem Church Congress. An intriguing presentation copy. <br /> <br /> <br /> . O.F. Knowles & Co., Printers unknown
