1853H10700New York: Stearns and Company 1853. First printing. Hardcover. Very Good. Original plum cloth gilt spine very good spine a little faded owner's name and stamp on flyleaf light soil to outer pages. 432 pp. Rare in commerce fairly well represented in institutions. The author 1802-1885 was a Methodist and ardent abolitionist and anti-slavery polemicist who also dabbled in mesmerism phrenology and spiritualism some of that is the subject of this book and occult phenomena but was critical of mesmerism and its claims as well as phrenology etc. earning the wrath of many of the pseudo-scientists of his time. He was however interested in the place of trances and hypnotism in American revivalist theology and coined a term "pathetism" to describe the possible beneficial effects of the trance state in revival meetings and prayer groups. An interesting descendant of 19th century fringe medical theories who marched to his own beat. Stearns and Company hardcover

18542657London: Saunders and Otley 1854. First edition. First edition. Octavo. Original blue embossed cloth with gilt design on cover. A very scarce book cited in Quarterly Review: "The book called 'Morbiida'- and which needs no second title- is the production of one who has evidently received his inspiration at second hand. Unable to elaborate it for himself he freely dilutes some of the finest of English poetry." And then in the Eclectic Review "It is sickly and feeble. The author has evidently mistaken his vocation. He might make as times go a creditable man in various professions but Nature in endowing him with a polished mediocrity evidently intended him for anything rather than a poet.". 168 pages. <br/><br/> Saunders and Otley hardcover books
