A propos de cet article

Printed in the U.S.A. [Press of Eagle Book Printing Dept. on the copyright page.] Date on the title page. First Printing. Frontispiece and Five Photographic Plates, Conclusion, Index at the front; xiii, [1], 262 pages. The original dark-green silk cloth shows touches of rubbing at the extremities, but the binding is strong and the gilt lettering bright on the spine, including the words, "Who am I?" An Enigma. The interior is mildly age-toned throughout, but completely clean, with a tear in the margin of page 79---obviously from publishing. There is a small Weiser bookseller label on the front pastedown. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] After two accidents, blind and partially paralyzed, Mollie Fancher displayed signs of supposed clairvoyance and split personality and became famous for her ability to abstain from eating for long periods of time. From the Introduction: "I have known Miss Fancher personally for twelve years, and have witnessed some of the strange things here recorded. I have been exceedingly careful to obtain the testimony of the most reliable persons. § Why we think, and how we think, involves mysterious operations of our minds imperfectly understood in any respect. Who has been able to tell us what the soul is, where it is, and how it maintains its relations to the body? § Who has been able to tell us what is the mind, and what is its relation to the soul? § The story of the life of Mollie Fancher cannot fail to cause speculations and strange thoughts in the minds of all thinking persons upon these and kindred subjects." As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.…

Description de la boutique

The books listed here are, indeed, from my father's library, representing the depth and varied interests of a modern scholar's mind. Dr. Henry LeRoy Finch, professor emeritus of philosophy and a published author, trained in the classics (graduating top in his class at Yale), and went on to develop an appreciation for modern thinkers. It took over half-a-century to amass this collection of primarily-scholarly books with a broad range of subjects from Philosophy and Religion (with an emphasis on the interrelationships and intricacies of Eastern and Western Thinking) to scientific influences played out over the entire history of humankind, touching necessarily on Art, Anthropology, Archaeology, Literature, History of various Cultures, Psychology, Physics, and Spiritual Thought, including Theosophy and Mysticism. Many are esoteric philosophical works, out-of-print and unavailable elsewhere. A great number cover the interconnections of so many subjects as to defy classification. His was a working library: each volume was read and familiar, its whereabouts on a shelf always known, even when "double-parked." Though many of the books are esoteric, others will appeal to the general reader, often making an abstruse subject more approachable. (There are a hundred books on Einstein alone!) In addition, there are numerous paperbacks--classics, scholarly, first-published editions, several versions of the same book (in different translations), handy for packing along in a back pocket. Each of the volumes from the collection has a bookplate tipped in at the front and may have pencil marginalia--sparse or profuse. I have tried to reflect this in all the listings, but feel free to call and discuss further details of a book's condition. As it will take a long time to write up all the descriptions, some of you may wish to call and ask about a particular book you have been seeking. Meanwhile, I'll try to keep an eye on the "Wants" list. Thank you for visiting this page. I hope my father's books will eventually find happy homes; it was one of his last wishes.…
