Point Counter Point.

1928119439New York: The Modern Library 1928. Modern Library edition of Huxley's classic satiric novel. Octavo original cloth. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half-title page "For Deci Mellin With good wishes Aldous Huxley 1953." Near fine in a near fine dust jacket.

Instead of a single central plot there are a number of interlinked story lines and recurring themes as in musical "counterpoint". As a roman a clef many of the characters are based on real people most of whom Huxley knew personally such as D. H. Lawrence Katherine Mansfield Sir Oswald Mosley Nancy Cunard and John Middleton Murry and Huxley is depicted as the novel's novelist Philip Quarles. It was named by Modern Library as one of the 100 greatest novels of the twentieth century. The Modern Library hardcover books

This issue quite rare. LIMITED EDITION of 250 numbered copies signed by publisher: "Bradbury Agnew W" - Whitefriars. "Crayfish were the 'hidden hand' which drew Huxley from Spirula. He veered off lured by a new promise and would never finish the tentacled mollusks. . . The Crayfish might not sound like a stimulating book. But it was destined for the International Scientific Series. The ISS now stretched from physics to psychology and beyond. It outdid the evangelical presses in pumping out rationalist books for Everyman. A huge force for deterministic and social evolution it mixed modernity and notoriety to sell titles through umpteen editions. . . He started The Crayfish after the Summer holidays in 1878 giving his own text an alluring evolutionary gloss. He intended it as the beginning of his own series. He would take readers from the 'insignificant' and common-or-garden into the profound depths." Desmond. "The Crayfish his famous volume in the International Scientific Series has been called by Professor Howes the assistant and successor of Huxley at the Royal College of Science 'PROBABLY THE BEST BIOLOGICAL TREATISE EVER WRITTEN.'" Prof. G. B. Howes in Mitchell Thomas Henry Huxley; a sketch of his life and work. Desmond Huxley From devil's disciple to evolutions' high priest pp. 496-97. C.

Those Barren Leaves

1925AH029New York: George H. Doran Company 1925 First American limited edition. One of 250 numbered large paper copies signed by Huxley this being number 221. Publisher's half white parchment over green-gray boards brown label lettered in gilt to spine and top edge gilt; in its original white dust jacket with "five dollars net" printed to front flap lettered in black with publisher's device to front panel. Very good book with some toning and scratches to spine a tiny chip to spine label text unaffected early owner's bookplate to front pastedown and Holliday Bookshop ticket to rear pastedown; very good or better unclipped dust jacket with some toning to spine shallow chipping to spine ends horizontal crease to jacket presumably from being folded a touch of staining to rear panel and a small closed tear to top edge of rear panel. Overall a clean copy in an attractive example of the exceedingly scarce original dust jacket. Those Barren Leaves is a satirical novel that attacks the superficiality of cultural elitism. Specifically it tells the story of Mrs. Aldwinkle and her companions who gather in Italy to recreate the literary achievements and cultural glory of the Italian Renaissance. However each member of the group which includes a philosopher a poet and a novelist among others proves in his or her own way to fall short of Mrs. Aldwinkle's expectations of grandeur. The book's title is derived from Wordsworth's poem "The Tables Turned" which concludes with the stanza: "Enough of Science and of Art; / Close up those barren leaves; / Come forth and bring with you a heart / That watches and receives." . Signed by Author. First American Limited Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Dust Jacket Included. New York: George H. Doran Company hardcover

The Doors of Perception.

1954190560London: Chatto & Windus 1954. First UK edition. In 1952 Huxley contacted the psychiatric researcher Humphry Osmond requesting that he be allowed to take the psychedelic drug mescaline under observation. Huxley felt that the brain restricts consciousness and was hoping that mescaline would increase awareness; The Doors of Perception was Huxley's account of the subsequent experiment which took place in May 1953. The work takes its title from William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell 1793: "If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is: Infinite. For man has closed himself up till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern". Huxley's detailing of the aesthetic and psychological revelations he experienced while under the influence of mescaline prompted his publishers to say of the manuscript that: "You are the most articulate guinea pig that any scientist could hope to engage" Murray p. 399. The UK edition was preceded by the US edition by eight days. Octavo. Original blue cloth spine lettered in gilt bottom edge untrimmed. With dust jacket designed by John Woodcock. Gilt lettering partially faded top edge of book block foxed; jacket unclipped spine and rear panel a little toned a few nicks and one short closed tear to edges colours bright: a near-fine copy in like jacket.
