1859réf. 49414New York: Charles Partridge 1859. Fifth American edition. Octavo 22cm. Printed sewn paper wrappers; 119pp. Wrappers lightly soiled; small losses to paper near crown of spine; Very Good. Translation of Kerner's most celebrated work Die Seherin von Prevorst first published in Stuttgart in 1829. This account of spirit-communication and somnabulism was based upon Kerner's real-world encounters with Friederike Hauffe a gamekeeper's daughter who became a regular visitor to the Kerner house at Schloss Weibertreu prior to her death in 1929. Among Kerner's other close associates at this time was George Rapp founder of the Harmony Society in Western Pennsylvania and the work became an influential text within the Rappite community where Hauffe's spiritual pronouncements were taken as a gospel confirmation of their millenialist views. First translated and published in English in 1845; based on OCLC data this 1859 edition was the last to appear. Earlier editions included a folding chart not called for in this edition.

1860réf. 246175Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott & Co 1860. First edition. 528 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Grey cloth stamped in blind spine titled in gilt. Spine a bit faded. Very good plus internally fresh. First edition. 528 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Firts book on spiritualism by the social visionary politician and reformer Robert Dale Owen 1801-1877. "His sympathetic stance toward the rights of women persisted throughout his life but he was never particularly successful at bringing about legislative changes. His dislike of slavery and concern for blacks was also a constant theme but was manifested in different ways throughout his life: from early sympathy for African colonization to legislative participation in excluding blacks from Indiana to the radical support of emancipation and suffrage of his later years. The agnosticism of his young adulthood was eventually replaced by a fervent dedication to spiritualism" ANB. J.B. Lippincott & Co unknown books
1860réf. 19197New York: A. J. Davis & Co. Publishers 1860. First edition. Some light soiling and wear; slight wear to the upper corner of the rear wrapper; in very good condition. Original printed wrappers 7.5 x 4.75 inches 12 pages. Free thought texts perhaps translated from French and here published by the leading American Spiritualist Andrew Jackson Davis at the office where he was also publishing the first volume of his serial The Herald of Progress. The burden of each short piece would tend to uphold Davis's spiritualist-inspired anti-Christian viewpoint: Durais engages in modern textual analysis to suggest that the Noah story as retold in Genesis is composed of two sources or versions with the occasional contradiction: "The reader is at liberty to make his election as to which to believe. The Bible generously offers him two Floods to satisfy his faith." The latter piece casts the ministry of Jesus Christ without mentioning him by name as a myth or fable. OCLC notes only copies held at the British Library the source of the digitized Google Books copy; no authors under the name Durais found in the NUC nor does the CCFr suggest any obvious conjunctions between a Durais and the title word Sphinx or indeed an obvious candidate for Durais as an author at all. The only other work easily found under the name of Durais is the kindred title in English published by Bela Marsh in Boston the same year Thirty-two wonders or the skill displayed in the Miracles of Jesus the skills "meaning not thereby to indicate the skill of Jesus but of the Evangelists in inventing miracles that would suit the religious tastes of those for whom they wrote." Two stab holes suggesting previous stitching. Pencil ownership signature to the front wrapper. A. J. Davis & Co., Publishers, unknown books

C. with extensive accounts here taken from the spirit realm and relayed through mediums from such figures as Humphry Davy Benjamin Franklin both Kane and Sir John Franklin and several instances of verse from the departed Edgar Allan Poe. The genealogical details given in the text included as bona fides for the mediums Smith has worked with point to this Francis H.

1737réf. 19585London: Printed for J. Roberts in Warwick Lane 1737. First edition. A little light soiling and foxing to a few leaves; otherwise a fine copy. 8vo recent half calf and marbled sides leather label on the upper board lettered in gilt Farmer on Demoniacks viii 116 pages. The Reader will find every Passage both in the Old Testament and the New except those of the Gospels which are at present the Subject of Debate and therefore must be determined by the meaning of the word Demon in other places He will find I say every passage considered in the following Papers; and the true Import of that Word is shewn not to be Evil Spirits or Devils but Ghosts or Souls of departed Men." The clergyman and controversialist Sykes ca. 1684-1756 had earlier in 1737 published his Enquiry into the meaning of demoniacks in the New Testament. By T.P.A.P.O.A.B.I.T.C.O.S. and launched the far-ranging contemporary gospel demoniac controversy of which this is an early entry answering the critic Leonard Twells. Sykes seems also to have suggested that the Gadarene incident might be best explained by illness or physical infirmity opening the way toward a model of mental illness as an explanation of so-called possession. Early references all seem to assign responsibility to Sykes for this Further Enquiry see the 1882 BMC and Notes & Queries Ser. 4 VI July 23 1870 though ESTC seems to take no stand. See the OUDNB for more on the controversial career of Sykes; see also H. C. Erik Midelfort "The Gadarene Demoniac in the English Enlightenment" in Michelson Taylor and Venables. A Linking of Heaven and Earth: Studies in Religious and Cultural History in Honor of Carlos M.N. Eire. Routledge 2016. pp. 53 et seq. for an extensive summary of the controversy.

1853réf. 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.

1962réf. 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. .
