186019197New York: A. J. Davis & Co. Publishers 1860. First edition. Some light soiling and wear; slight wear to the upper corner of the rear wrapper; in very good condition. Original printed wrappers 7.5 x 4.75 inches 12 pages. Free thought texts perhaps translated from French and here published by the leading American Spiritualist Andrew Jackson Davis at the office where he was also publishing the first volume of his serial The Herald of Progress. The burden of each short piece would tend to uphold Davis's spiritualist-inspired anti-Christian viewpoint: Durais engages in modern textual analysis to suggest that the Noah story as retold in Genesis is composed of two sources or versions with the occasional contradiction: "The reader is at liberty to make his election as to which to believe. The Bible generously offers him two Floods to satisfy his faith." The latter piece casts the ministry of Jesus Christ without mentioning him by name as a myth or fable. OCLC notes only copies held at the British Library the source of the digitized Google Books copy; no authors under the name Durais found in the NUC nor does the CCFr suggest any obvious conjunctions between a Durais and the title word Sphinx or indeed an obvious candidate for Durais as an author at all. The only other work easily found under the name of Durais is the kindred title in English published by Bela Marsh in Boston the same year Thirty-two wonders or the skill displayed in the Miracles of Jesus the skills "meaning not thereby to indicate the skill of Jesus but of the Evangelists in inventing miracles that would suit the religious tastes of those for whom they wrote." Two stab holes suggesting previous stitching. Pencil ownership signature to the front wrapper. A. J. Davis & Co., Publishers, unknown books

185949414New York: Charles Partridge 1859. Fifth American edition. Octavo 22cm. Printed sewn paper wrappers; 119pp. Wrappers lightly soiled; small losses to paper near crown of spine; Very Good. Translation of Kerner's most celebrated work Die Seherin von Prevorst first published in Stuttgart in 1829. This account of spirit-communication and somnabulism was based upon Kerner's real-world encounters with Friederike Hauffe a gamekeeper's daughter who became a regular visitor to the Kerner house at Schloss Weibertreu prior to her death in 1929. Among Kerner's other close associates at this time was George Rapp founder of the Harmony Society in Western Pennsylvania and the work became an influential text within the Rappite community where Hauffe's spiritual pronouncements were taken as a gospel confirmation of their millenialist views. First translated and published in English in 1845; based on OCLC data this 1859 edition was the last to appear. Earlier editions included a folding chart not called for in this edition.

18847822Bangor ME: O.F. Knowles & Co. Printers 1884. First edition. 8vo 168pp. Bound in publisher's rust cloth boards with black ruling and gilt lettering on spine beveled edges. Inscribed by Paine to Miss. A.E. Scammon and dated in 1894 on the ffep. Pages toned boards lightly bumped and rubbed at spine ends and corners. Near fine. <br /> <br /> An interesting and attractive Bangor imprint being a metaphysical tract by lawyer and writer Albert Ware Paine 1812-1907. A short review in The Literary World from 1884 describes the premise of the work:<br /> <br /> "His new philosophy is simply the theory that the spirits of the dead are living about us on every side; having this earth as their local habitation and yet not being trammeled by the limitations of space and time; influencing the living in a myriad ways for good and evil. By this influence he thinks all that is mysterious in human nature necromancy witchcraft dreams second-sight clairvoyance hypnotism genius insanity faith-cures etc. etc. can be explained."<br /> <br /> <br /> This copy inscribed to a Miss. A.E. Scammon of Chicago whom we find mentioned in various religious journals from the time as being chair of the women's committee of the New Jerusalem Church Congress. An intriguing presentation copy. <br /> <br /> <br /> . O.F. Knowles & Co., Printers unknown
