1864 Ingoldsby Legends Occult Esoteric Tenniel Leech Cruikshank Illustrated ART

"ABRACADABRA!"

A beautiful and attractive 1864 printing of the famous "Ingoldsby Legends." This collection of myths, ghost stories, and poetry was written by R.H.

While this collection is less popular today than it was in the 19th-century, it does include aspects that are still recognizable – the magic command "Abracadabra" and a version of the children's song Bingo!

1854 1ed Spirit Manifestations Occult Psychology Mesmerism Druids Mediums Dods
John Bovee Dods was a 19th-century philosopher known for his studies and beliefs in spiritualism and mesmerism. One of his best works was 'Spirit Manifestations Examined and Explained' – a series of his lectures on his experiences in the supernatural and spiritual world. Dods claims that the phenomena of the spirit world, while genuine and real, is a result of 'electrical psychology' (a term related to animal magnetism coined by Dods himself).
More specifically in these lectures, Dods covers:
·
Involuntary movements and instincts in humans
·
Communications of mediums
·
Authenticity of the Bible, concerning spiritualism
·
Habits and pagan acts by ancient tribes – Druids, Romans, Greeks, etc.

Description:
binding is very clean- just a touch of edgewear/shelfwear. They used a two tone quarter green cloth over gray cloth and the green portion still is glossy. Internals very clean ( not even any pricing marks in pencil) though there is a paper clip indentation at the lower edge affecting the title, onwards for 20 pages. Unclipped wrapper has only some rubbing but I detect no tears, creases or chips. The paper is wonderful; it strikes me as feeling and looking like "linen" (not your business/office grade) but I am by no means an expert on paper. This US Stackpole Edition omits 8 plates which are in the UK Allen & Unwin volume. Well-preserved, excellent copy.
