A propos de cet article

First Edition in English. Limited. Frontispiece, Author’s Foreword, Translator’s Preface, Notes for each Chapter, Indexes, Errata and Corrigenda, List of Illustrations; III, 604 pages [plus 2 or 3 dozen full-page illustrations, ‘hors texte’]. This book is of mixed condition: The three-quarter-leather and cloth covers are in very good shape except for light rubbing to the extremities and some minor spots on the spine; the gilt lettering is small but still bright. The endpapers are quite age-toned; and the interior leaves show evidence of dampness—perhaps from an overseas voyage? The frontispiece and title page were most affected, with small areas of loss, and both have been reinforced at some point. There is also rippling to the edges of some leaves, clearly visible in the images of actual book. See also some slight offsetting of color from ‘A model of Bridegroom’s / Bride’s Red Card’ (pages 464-5). Charmingly, the author has invited the reader to discover “minor errata” to add to the list, and a previous reader has added one—in a tiny hand, in pencil. Probably from the name that appears on the title-page—Eugenie Zarine. Overall, this is a good copy with all the text and the many illustrations (from photographs, engravings, drawings, etc.) intact, and the binding sound. "This Volume contains the essential notions of the three Sects ju, shih, tao, Literati, Buddhists and Taoists, as taught by them to the people. . . . More specially intended to make known the Chinese language, this book will perhaps also help to a better knowledge of the Chinese thoughts and habits.” —from the Author's Foreword. 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—domestic sales sent with 'delivery confirmation' tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking. This book is quite heavy and may incur extra postal charges—please inquire.…

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.…
