1925 Edgar Allen Poe Tales of Mystery Clarke Illustrated Macabre Occult Esoteric

"But as, in ethics, evil is a consequence of good, so, in fact, out of joy is sorrow born. Either the memory of past bliss is the anguish of today, or the agonies which are have their origin in the ecstasies which might have been."

Edgar Allan Poe, Berenice

This incredible illustrated edition of the Tales of Mystery by Edgar Allan Poe includes 32 bizarre images and paintings by Harry Clark depicting horror and demise! This book, published many times during the 20th-century, features Poe's short horror stories, such as Berenice – a story of incest, festering diseases, violence, and other disturbing esoteric themes! There are twenty-nine tales in total including "The Pit and the Pendulum", "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", "The Fall of the House of Usher", and "The Descent into the Maelstrom."

1682 Bible Catechism Whole Duty of Man Richard Allestree Anglican England RARE

'The Whole Duty of Man' is a Protestant devotional work written by Richard Allestree who prescribes various devotional exercises for a healthy Christian life. According to Bickersteth,
"'The Whole Duty of Man' was a practical book to counteract the Antinomians and contains an impressive introduction on the care of the soul, the devotional part is full and useful, and it has a good statement of relative duties, but it does not exhibit prominently the only principles and strength on which man can perform them." (Lowndes 1229)
This 1682 catechism was written as a commentary on Allestree's 'Duty of Man', designed to clarify and simplify his devotional exercises.

1668 ERASMUS Education of a Christian Prince Moral Ethics Rhetoric Philosophy

"When I have a little money, I buy books; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes."
― Erasmus
While best known for his 'In Praise of Folly' and 'Colloquies', Desiderius Erasmus wrote other important treatises including 'The Education of a Christian Prince'. This book was a unique instructional manual written to teach royals how to act and rule, focusing on their moral behavior, religious practices, and ethics. Erasmus's understanding of classical rhetoric was evident in this work, and it has become an important piece in the history of rhetoric.

Description:
v+321 pages. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's black cloth with gilt lettering to cover and spine. First British edition. St. Ives: Being The Adventures of a French Prisoner in England (1897) is an unfinished novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was completed in 1898 by Arthur Quiller-Couch. Unable to write, Stevenson dictated thirty chapters of the novel to his stepdaughter as a diversion from his debilitating illness. He alternated dictating St. Ives and The Weir of Hermiston but gradually lost interest in the former. The plot concerns the adventures of the dashing Capitaine Jacques St. Ives, a Napoleonic soldier, after his capture by the British. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, shelf wear, hinges and spine heal moderately rubbed, previous owner's name on front end paper else a very good copy.
