An Essay Upon Force in Nature and its Effects Upon Matter.

186975650Cincinnati: Robert Clark and Company 1869. First edition. Octavo. 85 1 pp. Original wrappers expertly restored.J. Ralston Skinner was a man of tremendous and far-reaching learning. A denizen of Cincinnati he was deemed an expert on a great many matters. This book his first concerns Newtonian physics gone astray. The theory of Newton that every particle of matter attracts all other particles of matter in right lines joining their centers and in an inverse ratio to the squares of their distances b yvirtue of an inherent force called gravity accounted for the motions of the planets so satisfactorily that it has been almost universally adopted by subsequent physicists as a natural law. In this book he calls into doubt this firmly held theory/"The theory of Newton that every particle of matter attracts all other particles of matter in right lines joining their centers and in an inverse ratio to the squares of their distances bj"virtue of an inherent force called gravity accounted for the motions of the planets so satisfactorily that it has been almost universally adopted by subsequent physicists as a natural law.

J. Ralson Skinner was a die-hard mason and published numerous books of esoteric wisdom; Madame Blavatsky though very highly of him/ "H. P. Blavatskyâ€™s hitherto unpublished letter to James Ralston Skinner is one of great consequence. Despite its relative obscurity evidence of its existence has been previously alluded to by J. D. Buck Modern World Movements and Boris de Zirkoff BCW VIII 220. Blavatsky herself mentioned the recipient of the letter on numerous occasions clearly revealing her admiration of his great learning as demonstrated in his â€wonderfully clever and erudite volume The Source of Measuresâ€ BCW XIII 258. Indeed it is no accident that Skinner is â€œconstantly mentionedâ€ in The Secret Doctrine. In his overview of letterâ€™s recipient Assistant Editor Jerry Hejka-Ekins has observed that both the author and his Source of Measures are mentioned more often in The Secret Doctrine than any other author with the exception of Plato a remarkable observation given the relative obscurity of both Skinner and his work. It is no surprise that John Drais considered the book important enough to compile his Index of Hebrew and Numerical Terms contained inÂ The Source of Measures by J. Ralston Skinner."

Several pamphlets with wrappers detached many chipped along edges few ownership signatures. All complete and good or better. Housed in a beat up open box labeled "T.R.C. Pamphlets. Very interesting collection of esoteric health and science pamphlets many of which deal with the Anti-Vivisectionist movement of the first half of the 20th century. The holistic view of health and belief in the spiritual evolution of all living things which were core tenets of Theosophy provided a natural link to the Anti-Vivisectionist movement as well as that of women's suffrage. Several prominent Theosophists of the time took up both of these causes including Anna Kingsford Mabel Collins Gertrude Baillie-Weaver and others. The Theosophical Research Centre was founded in the 1920s as a reorganization of the Theosophical World University. Its members included doctors psychiatrists and scientists who carried out research on scientific supernatural religious and philosophical subjects in relation to Theosophy and published their findings. This collection includes: Proteus: A Journal of the Science Philosophy and Therapy of Nature Nos. 1-4 and 6 1931-32 The Art of Breathing by F.E. Pearce League of Healing N.D.

[Theosophy] [Occult Fiction] Dake, Laura MBiblio.com

The Flight of the Shadow

18995896Cincinnati: The Editor Publishing Co 1899. First edition. 17x11cm 128pp. Red cloth boards with vignette illustration and lettering in silver. Spine toned some soiling and bumping to boards. Scattered foxing else clean and sound internally. Very good. Unquestionably rare copy of this supernatural occult novel from Laura M. Dake née Wright 1844-1932. Likely published in a very small number we find little mention of the title save for a short review in the Columbia Missouri Herald August 11 1899 under the heading "Books by Home Folks:" "To lovers of the occult 'The Flight of the Shadow.' will appeal with fine fascination. It is a well-written argument for the astral world - a phrase which the theosophists are fond of employing. A gallant young Confederate officer is stricken almost unto death. In his delirium he is confronted by the spirit of a young man of his own age dead many years before. The latter tells his story which is strikingly like the events of the former's life and weaves through it the arguments of occultism. A note of love and mystery runs through the pages and makes of the volume a most charming one even aside from the queer theories it advances or supports." The short novel in part takes place on a plantation in Charleston and is steeped in the Southern culture of the time including slave dialect. The above review also gives clues as to the author's identity she being a resident of San Diego formerly of Columbia MO and wife of a Charles T. Dake. OCLC lists Dake as the author of a religious novel In the Crucible and an anti-Mormon novel which would make some sense given her upbringing in Missouri called A Man O' Wax published in San Francisco 1902. Interestingly an audiobook of this title was recently released. Otherwise we identify just the copy at the Library of Congress. A true rarity of the genre. Not in Bleiler not in Locke not in BAL.
