19255544Berkeley: Sather Gate Book Shop 1925. Leaflet advertisement 18x12cm recto only. Nearly fine with instances of faint creasing and soiling. <br /> <br /> Interesting advertisement for a talk on mysticism and economics and including a reading of The Mystical Interpretation of Christmas by Rosicrucian Mabel Morrin Kellogg at the iconic Sather Gate Book Shop in Berkeley. Though the flyer is undated we find the title it advertises listed as a Recent Rosicrucian Publication in the May 1921 issue of Rays from the Rose Cross. <br /> <br /> We find Kellogg's name in various Bay Area papers as a "dramatic reader" as early as 1908. She was also a member of the Temple of the People a theosophical organization in Halcyon CA following the teachings of Madame Blavatsky.<br /> <br /> <br /> A wonderful piece of California occult ephemera. .

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. The latterof the essay in which it is attempted to sustainthe theory are as the author claims merely suggestive; the first part being devoted to the attempt to demonstrate mathematically that the theory of Newton is untenable" Scientific American 1869. J. Ralson Skinner was a die-hard mason and published numerous books of esoteric wisdom; Madame Blavatsky though very highly of him/ "H. P. Blavatsky’s hitherto unpublished letter to James Ralston Skinner is one of great consequence.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 Measures†BCW XIII 258. Indeed it is no accident that Skinner is “constantly mentioned†in The Secret Doctrine. In his overview of letter’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 in The Source of Measures by J. Ralston Skinner."

19509014London U.K.: Various 1950. 30 publications journals monographs offprints generally 8x6" or smaller various paginations. Staple bound in wrappers occasional illustration or diagram. 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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> This collection includes:<br /> Proteus: A Journal of the Science Philosophy and Therapy of Nature Nos. 1-4 and 6 1931-32<br /> The Art of Breathing by F.E.
