(THEOSOPHY) BUCK, J DBiblio.com

The Nature and Aim of Theosophy: An Essay Read Before the Cincinnati Literary Club January 17 1886. First and Second Editions.

188675774Cincinnati: Robert Clark & Co. 1886. First edition. Small square octavo. 42 pp. including a full page allegorical illustration. Printed green wrappers Excellent.Jirah Dewy Buck received his medical training at Cleveland Homeopathic Medical College completing the program in 1864. He began practice that year in Cincinnati as a homeopathic physician in general practice. He also taught medicine at Cleveland Medical College and became Dean of the Pulte Medical College in Cincinnati until it was merged into Ohio State University. In 1890 Dr. Buck became President of the American Institute of Homeopathy. He practiced medicine for over 40 years. Dr. Buck became active in the Theosophical Society in 1879. In 1880 he was a member of the General Council of the Theosophical Society. On May 13 1884 he was appointed by Col. Olcott to be a member of the Board of Control of the Theosophical Society's activities in the United States. In Mahatma Letter 140 written in March 1886 Madame Blavatsky gave A. P. Sinnett an indication that Dr. Buck was being "helped" by the Mahatmas to make the Society "a grand movement" in America. The Cincinnati Theosophical Society was formed on May 9 1886 at the Buck home on Oak Street. Cincinnati was one of the earliest centers of theosophical adherents in the US and Buck was their patriarch. The first edition is signed lightly in pencil by a woman in his inner circle.Madame Blavatsky quoted an essay of his in The Key to Theosophy and commented "No living theosophist has better expressed and understood the real essence of Theosophy than our honoured friend Dr. Buck". She also referred to him as "a true Philaletheian" in her book quoting from an article he published in The Theosophist September 1883 p. 327 titled "The Ethics of Theosophy."

[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.
