Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. Third printing of the true first edition, published in February 1911. The book was first printed in January 1911, and reprinted almost immediately the following month (twice). With a two-page Preface by Elizabeth Morison and Frances Lamont (the authors' pseudonyms) and Publisher's Note to the fore. ***With an interesting post card enclosed from booksellers G. Heywood Hill of Curzon Street, Mayfair, London indicating that the book was given to Lady Faulkner by Lord Kenyon (and probably hand-delivered). ***With six full-page line drawing illustrations as follows: p43 a plan, p53 a larger plan, p62 a larger plan, p79 a larger plan, p82/3 comparative layouts of buildings between 1783 and 1904. ***Very good in blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles and fleurs-de-lys on the spine and front board, and gilt lining on the spine extending without the gilt to the front and back boards. There is a period booksellers and Librarians label on the front board (indicating the book may have been in a circulating library). However, there are no significant tears to the cloth, just slight splitting at the lower spine, and the binding is square and firm. The corner tips are quite sharp. The spine is browned and marked and the gilt is slightly faded. Page block edges rough-trimmed. Internally the binding is firm with no splitting at the gutters of the front and rear endpapers. Some of the gutters within the book are just slightly strained, but not broken. The interior pages are clean, and there are no serious creases or tears - just light creases to the top corners of a couple of pages (please see scans). No dustwrapper. ***210mm x 138mm. 162 pages. ***Contents: Preface by Elizabeth Morison and Frances Lamont; Chapter I. Three Visits to the Petit Trianon; Chapter II. Results of Research; III. Answers to Questions, IV. A Reverie. ***'The story of the two English ladies who, while taking an afternoon walk in the Gardens of Versailles at the beginning of the twentieth century, found themselves transported to the Trianon of 1789: with their account of the researches to which this adventure led. ***The visions of the two authoresses, of "An Adventure" will remain a classic case for all time on account of its production of questions which have never had to be discussed before or since.' Morning Post.' (Quote taken from the dustwrapper of a later edition) ***The Moberly-Jourdain incident is a claim of time travel and hauntings made by Charlotte Anne Moberly (1846-1937) and Eleanor Jourdain (1863-1924). In 1911, Moberly and Jourdain published a book entitled "An Adventure" under the names of "Elizabeth Morison" and "Frances Lamont". Their book describes a visit they made to the Petit Trianon, a small château in the grounds of the Palace of Versailles, where they claimed to have seen the gardeIn the book the writers described their experiences during a visit to Versailles in 1901 in which they say they saw not only the people and surroundings of their time, but those of 1789 at the time of Marie Antoinette. Everything was described in minute detail, corresponding with the maps and records examined later in the archives of Paris'. ***'Baron Kenyon, of Gredington, in the County of Flint] is a title in the Peerage of Great Britain, created in 1788'. (Wiki) ***The second reprint of the true first edition, complete with all pages and sketch-maps. First and early printings of this unusual anonymous work are hard to find now in any condition. The book became a classic pf psychic literature. A very unusual 'tale of time-slip'. An uncommon antiquarian book, of interest to those studying paranormal experiences, and with the added interest of the connection with Lord Kenyon and Lady Faulkner. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. N° de réf. du vendeur 9421

Hard Cover. Etat : Good. First Edition. Fourth impression. Stated at copyright: "First Edition January 1911, Reprinted February 1911 (Twice), March 1911." Intriguingly, no authors or even pseudonyms are mentioned at title page; pseudonyms do follow preface and throughout body of work. Slate blue cloth boards, with cover vignette of gilt fleur-de-lis, red cloth spine adhesive and printed titles in white, moderate cover, corner, edge wear. Deckled pages generally very good. Extensive article of intrigue from The Observer of May 9th, 1937 adhered inside cover entitled "The Ghosts of Versailles". Stamp adjacent title page and card pocket w/label at back for Cape Breton Library of Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. Bind good, square; hinges intact. Near good original rarity. Printed at the University Press, Glasgow by Robert MacLehose and Co. Limited. Insured post. An unexpected sensation, this title ran to four impressions in three months. Published anonymously, the identities of the authors of this controversial work, perhaps the most famous "time slip" case in literature, were not made public until 1931. The tale begins in August of 1901 when the Principal of St Hugh's College, Oxford, Charlotte "Annie" Moberly (1846-1937), went on holiday to Paris. She was accompanied by Eleanor Jourdain (1863-1924) who was about to take up the position of Vice Principal; Jourdain, with the intention of cementing their personal and working relationship. On August 10th, the two women visited Versailles and while there experienced unexplained symptoms and met a host of strange characters. This lead the women to later see the experience as one not of their contemporary Versailles, but to a Versailles just prior to the execution of Marie Antoinette. The two women became lost while crossing the palace's gardens to visit the Petit Trianon; instead, they found a farmhouse where Marie Antoinette played at being a milkmaid. As they ventured further, both women were felt a strong sense of depression; although, neither expressed this directly to the other at the time. They continued on despite their discomfort until one of the passersby they asked for directions - all of whom they noted were in historical dress - implored them to turn back. Upon doing so, they found themselves surrounded once more by modern-day tourists. Neither woman spoke of their afternoon at Versailles for a week, until Moberly asked Jourdain if she believed the Petit Trianon to be haunted, which Jourdain confirmed she did. It was not until November at Oxford that the two women talked through the events at length. They decided to write out their personal accounts of that afternoon, in order to better compare them. This began a process of intense and meticulous research into the grounds and history of Versailles which included two further trips to the palace. They identified all of those they had seen with members of the court or staff of 1792. The work prompted intense scrutiny upon publication and was investigated in the Journal of the Society for Psychical Research. Outside of this, many key researchers gave their opinion, and the described events have become a long-lasting point of unexplained phenomenon. Several attempts have been made to debunk the women's story, with many pointing to inconsistencies between published editions, and others posing explicit arguments claiming the women were in a sapphic daze or hysteria caused by their alleged romantic feelings for one another. One of the more popular modern explanations for the events was put forward in 1965 by Philippe Jullian in his biography of the aristocratic decadent French poet Robert de Montesquiou, who lived nearby the grounds of Versailles. Montesquiou was renowned at the time for hosting large and raucous costume parties, often featuring tableaux vivants, or living pictures. Jullian's suggestion is that the two women had entered one such party. An ever shimmering mystery to this day! Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall. N° de réf. du vendeur 021416
