Hardcover. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : Fair. Otway McCannell (illustrateur). First U.S. Edition. A Good copy (owner's name) in gray cloth, in an edge-worn Fair dust jacket with a large chip at the lower spine, but little wear to the pictorial front panel. No date, but c.1920 and from the British plates, thus believed to be the first U.S. edition (but of this we are not certain). Book.

Livre Edition originale
Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. First American Edition. 423 Pp. Brown Cloth, Gilt. First American Edition, Using Sheets Of The 1917 Uk First. Some Wear, Cover Gilt Bright, Spine Gilt Mostly Rubbed Away But Blind-Stamping Still Clear. Cloth Beginning To Fray At Ends Of Spine. Hinges Tight. Previous Owner's Pencil Names On Front Free Endpaper. James Lewis Thomas Chalmers Spence (1874 ? 1955) Was A Scottish Journalist, Poet, Author, Folklorist And Occult Scholar. After Graduating From Edinburgh University He Pursued A Career In Journalism. He Was An Editor At The Scotsman 1899?1906, Editor Of The Edinburgh Magazine For A Year, 1904?05, Then An Editor At The British Weekly, 1906?09. In This Time Spence's Interest Was Sparked In The Myth And Folklore Of Mexico And Central America, Resulting In His Popularisation Of The Mayan Popol Vuh, The Sacred Book Of The Quiché Mayans (1908). He Compiled A Dictionary Of Mythology (1910), An Encyclopedia Of Occultism And Parapsychology (1920) And Numerous Additional Volumes. Turning His Interest Closer To Home, He Investigated Scottish Folklore. An Ardent Scottish Nationalist, He Unsuccessfully Contested A Parliamentary Seat For Midlothian And Peebles Northern At A By-Election In 1929. He Also Wrote Poetry, Collected In 1953. Spence Wrote About Brythonic Rites And Traditions In Mysteries Of Celtic Britain (1905). In This Book, Spence Theorized That The Original Britons Were Descendants Of A People That Migrated From Northwest Africa And Were Probably Related To The Berbers And The Basques. Spence's Researches Into The Mythology And Culture Of The New World, Together With His Examination Of The Cultures Of Western Europe And North-West Africa, Led Him To The Question Of Atlantis. During The 1920S He Published A Series Of Books Which Sought To Rescue The Topic From The Occultists Who Had More Or Less Brought It Into Disrepute. These Works, Including The Problem Of Atlantis (1924) And History Of Atlantis (1927), Adopted Theories Inaugurated By Ignatius Donnelly And Looked At The Lost Island As A Bronze Age Civilization That Formed A Cultural Link With The New World, Which He Invoked Through Examples He Found Of Parallels Between The Early Civilizations Of The Old And New Worlds. Despite Spence's Erudition And The Width Of His Reading, The Conclusions He Reached, Avoiding Peer-Reviewed Journals, Have Been Almost Universally Rejected By Mainstream Scholarship. His Popularisations Met Stiff Criticism In Professional Journals, But His Continued Appeal Among Theory Hobbyists Is Summed Up By A Reviewer Of The Problem Of Atlantis (1924) In The Geographical Journal: "Mr. Spence Is An Industrious Writer, And, Even If He Fails To Convince, Has Done Service In Marshalling The Evidence And Has Produced An Entertaining Volume Which Is Well Worth Reading. Nevertheless, He Seems To Have Had Some Influence Upon The Ideas Of Controversial Author Immanuel Velikovsky, And As His Books Have Come Into The Public Domain, They Have Been Successfully Reprinted And Some Have Been Scanned For The Internet. Spence's 1940 Book Occult Causes Of The Present War Is An Early Book In The Field Of Nazi Occultism. Over His Long Career, He Published More Than Forty Books, Many Of Which Remain In Print To This Day. Spence Was A Fellow Of The Royal Anthropological Institute Of Great Britain And Ireland, And Vice-President Of The Scottish Anthropological And Folklore Society. Spence Was Also The Founder Of The Scottish National Movement Which Later Merged To Form The National Party Of Scotland And Which In Turn Merged To Form The Scottish National Party.
