1853ref. 1948081853-54. Satanic wonders and prophetic signs A representative collection debating the origin and veracity of the phenomena written from religious experimental and spiritualist perspectives. "Table-turning became a fashionable diversion and was practised all over the country in the year 1853" Encyclopedia Britannica. Interest in table-turning surged in the early 1850s as part of the wider Victorian spiritualist movement. The phenomenon also became an arena for the scientific scrutiny of spiritualism most famously in Michael Faraday's 1853 study in which he experimentally determined whether the table or the sitters' hands moved first. He concluded that the movement resulted from involuntary muscular action caused by the sitters' expectations a phenomenon now known as the ideomotor response. Others attributed it either to spirits of the dead or to satanic ruses intended to tempt Christians. The pamphlets comprise: i BANTON George. Table Moving by the Power of the Will: Similar Manifestations Obtained by the Divining Ring; Being a Statement of Original Experiments Reprinted from the "Kentish Independent" Newspaper. With Additional Observations. 1853. First separate edition. ii GILLSON E. Table-Talking; Disclosures of Satanic Wonders & Prophetic Signs. A Word for the Wise. 1853.

1962ref. 10289Vista CA: Borderland Sciences Research Associates 1962. Second edition. Quarto 130; 28; 34; 38; 35 1; 30; 35 1; 30; 28; 32pp. Thirteen parts each with its own cover sheet and index on various color and thickness of stock; complete as issued. Original two-brad paper folder binding. Very clean. Included are 3 relevant issues of Mystic Magazine: August 1954 February and June 1955 on Mark Probert. A complete series of transcripts of thirteen seances held in September of 1946-February of 1949. Meade Layne occultist and founder of the Borderland Sciences Research Associates came to prominence when a story recorded in his newsletter "Round Robin" was broadcast via the wire service. Layne claimed he knew a medium ex-vaudeville star Mark Probert who was communicating telepathically with people in a space ship. Probert also became quite popular in his channeling of an "Inner Circle" that included Lao-Tse Michael Faraday Thomas Carlyle and Yada di Shi'ite a supposed 500000 year old Himalayan priest. Layne and Probert were a bit ahead of the UFO craze of the 50s and their theories that flying saucers were not extraterrestrial but rather materialized from a parallel plane became central in what would later be known as the interdimensional UFO hypothesis. The original memoranda were issued from San Diego and Borderland Sciences was operating from Vista by the late 1950s so these are likely the second printing of these transcriptions and perhaps the first collected edition. In any event these are quite scarce with OCLC citing no physical holdings. An important group of writings from an early duo who were quite influential in advancing ufology. .

1876ref. 10290Boston: Published for the Editor 1876. First edition. 8vo 22x15cm 5 4-484 4pp. Inscribed to Mrs. L.H.T. Dexter by Annie Lord Chamberlain and dated in 1877 on the ffep. Title page printed in 4 colors publisher's ads at rear. Bound in original blue pebbled cloth decorated and lettered in black and gilt. Rear cover with some staining spine with a few scuffs. Private library card adhered to front pastedown pg. 281 with a vertical tear in the middle but no text lost. Very good. Wonderful copy of one of Emma Hardinge Britten's strangest but most important works in the modern spiritualist movement. Britten 1823-1899 was a central figure in 19th century spiritualism speaking internationally and publishing books and periodicals which helped shape the movement both in America and Britain. Ghost Land is an occult narrative presented as autobiography of the mysterious "Chevalier Louis de B" who at a young age is initiated into a German secret society which experiments in séance clairvoyance spirit obsession astral travel and travels to secret temples in India. These fantastic adventures which are vividly detailed by Britten underscore her argument that modern Spiritualism is just one part of a larger and much older occult practice. This copy with a remarkable Spiritualist association inscribed shortly after publication: "Mrs. L. H. T. Dexter-Please accept with love and good wishes from your friend Annie Lord Chamberlain. Chicago Ill. July 12th 1877." Chamberlain 1842-1920 was a celebrated physical and musical medium whose séances featured instruments reportedly playing without visible assistance spirit writing voices and materialized flowers; Britten published a biographical sketch of her in The Western Star in 1872. The recipient Mrs. L.H.T. Dexter was herself an early Spiritualist organizer and one of the founders of the First Spiritualist Society of Ionia Michigan in 1868. A very scarce book to begin with and this copy with direct ties to the Midwestern spiritualist movement of the 19th century. Published for the Editor unknown
