Born of poor parents in Goerlitz Germany as a boy he tended cattle later becoming a shoemaker marrying & fathering 4 children. Boehme at the robust age of 37 in 1612 wrote his first treatise Aurora oder Die Morgenroete in Aufgang. In 1613 an unauthorized copy of the manuscript was copied and circulated by Karl von Ender. Its reception "raised him out of his homely sphere and made him the centre of a local circle of liberal thinkers considerably above him in station and culture." However the local pastor primarius of Gorlitz Gregorius Richter leveled a charge of heresy. The local muncipal council administered an admonishment to no further "meddle in such matters." This charge Boehme publicly followed for 5 years. In 1618 Boehme again started writing expository & polemical treatises. The majority of his works were written though not formally published from 1619 - 1624. A second major work Der Weg zu Christo was published in 1624 and signaled a renewal of clerical hostility. Boehem however was destined to suffer but a short period of this second persecution; he died of an illness on 17 November 1624. Boehme has been said to have a "fertility of ideas" and a "trasncendent greatness of religious insight." Boehme was studied by Sir Isaac Newton and influenced the work Henry More as well as and especially William Law 1686 - 1761. Xl Questions concerning the Soule was translated by the English mystic John Sparrow in collaboration with John Ellstone & financed by Humphrey Blunden. This the first of several works by Boehme that Sparrow & Ellstone were to translate into English between 1644 - 1662. Boehme proved to be highly popular in England where there were regular societies of Behmenists at the time. This work XL Questions went into a second edition in 1648 and a third edition in 1665. 11th EB. A scarce title in the Boehme canon. We find no copies currently offered via the major on-line databases OCLC records but 4 institional cc and the work has only appeared at auction 3 times in the last 25 years the last in 1989.

Displeasing glue residue in gutter margin of first blank and title-page both of which are a little browned age-toning throughout not objectionable; top edge of textblock with stain near the head-cap which did not permeate through the text itself. Provenance: Mary Knowles contemporary signature on title - see below. A good copy with faults and priced accordingly. Was the "Mary Knowles" who first owned this 18th-century English translation of Boehme's first work the same as the well known English Quaker mystic poet feminist and abolitionist namely Mary Morris Knowles 1733-1807. While we have been unable to procure an autograph of Mary Morris Knowles with which to compare the two signatures if she did not own this particular copy of Boehme it is almost certain that she had in her library at least one of Boehme's texts.<br/><br/>This edition was published by Thomas Mills ca. 1735-1820 formerly a clerk in the one of the Countess of Huntington's chapels where he preached "in the Methodist way." It is not without interest that in 1778 Mills became a Quaker sic.<br/><br/>A German shoemaker turned mystic Boehme's writings found renewed interest in England during the late 18th century influencing Quakers Methodists and mystics alike William Blake in particular. Indeed Blake "inherited from Boehme the ideas which formed the foundation of his philosophy and his myth" Gerald Bentley "William Blake and the Alchemical Philosophers" B.Litt.

1852241579London: James Waton 1852. Disbound. Holyoake a leader of the English secularist movement in fact he coined the work "secularist" and freethinker became quite well-known as the last person convicted under the English blasphemy laws. He was a tireless social reformer advocating that the government should help the poor and working classes now and not in some future life. His little book "Why do the clergy avoid discussion" resulted in a six night debate between Holyoake and the Rev. Brewis Grant in 1853. Holyoake asserted that the clergy depend upon "railing in the sacred enclosures of their pulpits". James Waton unknown books
193432450Washington DC: Nervous and Mental Disease Publishing Co 1934. First edition. Original black cloth blocked in green; xvi 437 pp. one ad leaf. 3 inch crack in rear endpaper but a very good copy. Illustrations in black red blue and green. There is an inscription on the front endpaper indicating its use by the War Office Selection Board in 1942. The Board was a scheme by British Army psychiatrists to discover and develop officer candidates and Moreno's sociometrics were influential in Eric Trist and Wilfred Bion's experiment of Regimental Nomination where units were encouraged to nominate candidates.<br/>Linton C. Freeman identified four defining properties of social network analysis: 1 It involves the intuition that links among social actors are important. 2 It is based on the collection and analysis of data that record social relations that link actors. 3 It draws heavily on graphic imagery to reveal and display the patterning of those links. And 4 it develops mathematical and computational models to describe and explain those patterns.<br/>He wrote "Until the 1930s however no one had used all four properties at the same time. Modern social network analysis was introduced by a psychiatrist Jacob L. Moreno and a psychologist Helen Jennings. They conducted elaborate research first among the inmates of a prison later in a reform school for girls. Moreno and Jennings named their approach sociometry." A chapter on psychological geography anticipates the work of the Lettrist International.<br/><br/>"Moreno founded psychodrama and pioneered group psychotherapy. Apart from its psychiatric and sociological significance this work contained some of the earliest graphic depictions of social networks— data visualization methods later applied to numerous other disciplines. These images were later called sociograms." Garrison-Morton-Norman 7700. <br/><br/> Nervous and Mental Disease Publishing Co hardcover books
