About This Item
London: Macmillan, 1896. Repint of 1894 'corrected', 1st-1867 . Red gilt-printed cloth. VG+ for Age/No Jacket (none issued). 12 Cms x 17.5 Cms. 53 pp., black endpoapers; virtually pristine internally being clean, tight and quite unmarked; covers clean, bright and minimally worn but patchy pigment loss to spine, spine region and thin strips along most edges, a little more extensive to back, at first glance most of this looks liked sun-fading, Despite numerous reprints from 1867 onwards, with a 'New edition' in 1890, this is surprisingly scarce, and the 1894 edition 'with corrections' and its 1896 reprint seem even more so. This is the last edition I assume as Myers died in January 1901. Myers best known as co-founder of the Society for Psychical Research, author of 2-vol. 'Phantasms of the Living' and the posthumously compiled Human Personality and Its Survival of Bodily Death'. This religious poem was his first book. Am curious that he corrected it as late as 1894 as he had long abandoned orthodox Christian faith.
