The Psychology of Death is a pioneer survey of all aspects of the subject by two of the few authors in the world who are academically qualified to treat it - though, as they observe, not all the academic degrees in the world enable one to contemplate death with equanimity. ***The topics discussed include : the definition of death, clinically and biologically; neurotic anxieties about death; consolation and grief; old age and 'natural' death; who should be kept alive and how long; what can be done to forestall premature death; the counterfeiting of death; the fatal attractions of murder and suicide; the incidence of accidents; the mutual implications of birth and death; and the cultural milieu of death today and in the past. The authors emphasize that the time and mode of death are factors of the individual's life style within his particular social context.'

3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, on aged paper, laid down on part of a leaf from an album. He writes that he has 'carefully looked over the Copy of "Turner's England and Wales," that will be offered for Sale at Christies rooms on Tuesday next', and that while he finds it 'in all respects good of its kind, and applicable to the Library of a gentleman', it is 'not so well applicable to the Studio of an Artist, whose aim is to acquire from it, all the knowledge that a more refined class of impressions of places might impart to him'. He has been told by a clerk at Christie's that the probable sum the work will sell for is twelve to fifteen pounds, and that a proof copy 'would realise a very different sum'.…

For information on Cook see his biography in the Oxford DNB, which points out that the subtlety of his later fiction was lost on his contemporaries, being written in a style that 'was not sufficiently sensational' for the period. The present item is the complete text of the last thing Cook ever wrote: a story which appeared in the weeks following his death, in Hood's Comic Annual for 1884 (London, 1883). On 3 November 1883, the 'Bookseller' quoted the review of the volume in the magazine 'Fun': 'a melancholy interest attaches to the article "Columbines all of a Row," from the fact that it was the last production of the late Mr. Dutton Cook, having been completed only a few days before his death'. The Graphic praised the story's 'charming intermingling of pathos and humour'. 12pp, landscape 12mo. The holograph is written in a close, stylized hand, in purple ink, on twelve 11.5 x 18 cm leaves attached with a brass stud. In good condition, lightly aged. Addressed in autograph at top-right of first page: 'Dutton Cook / 69 Gloucester Crescent. N.W', and signed at end 'Dutton Cook'. With autograph emendations throughout, but evidently a final draft: the tenth and eleventh leaves have both been divided into two parts with neat vertical cutting, and reunited on the reverse with paper labels, with the section created by this division indicated by numbering in another hand in pencil in the margins. The story is divided by Cook into nine parts with roman numerals.…
