International Association for the Preservation of Spiritualist and Occult Periodicals: Monographs Index

Author: Anonymous. Imprint: published by John Murray in London (1824). Printer: C. Roworth, Bell-Yard, Temple-Bar. Role-pseudonym attribution: nothing in the opening or closing pages or colophon names the barrister, so the work is honestly anonymous. Title-page motto 'SALUTARIS SEVERITAS! [B]EAT[A] SECURITAS! — Lord Coke'; date given as MDCCCXXIV. A DEFENCE of the 3 Geo. IV Vagrant Act against the press campaign, arguing the Act is merciful; it is answered from the other side by another work in the archive (filed as Protest against the Spirit and Practice of Modern Legislation). Another work in the archive (filed as On the Impropriety of Classing Players with Rogues and Vagabonds) is signed 'by the Author of "The Vagrant Act in relation to the Liberty of the Subject"' — i.e. this book — and shares the John Murray imprint and the C. Roworth colophon; the two are by one anonymous author. Quotes Filangieri's Scienza della Legislazione in Italian in a footnote. Harvard College Library bequest stamp in the scan; at the end is a John Murray advertising catalogue (Scheller's Latin Grammar, Bullock on Mexico, Caldcleugh, P. P. King, Leake) — none of it by this author.

• The Vagrant Act, in Relation to the Liberty of the Subject (1824)

Author: Anonymous. Imprint: published by James Nisbet and Co. Berners Street in London (1841). Printer: J. Dennett, Printer, 121, Fleet Street. MDCCCXLI on the title page. Three epigraphs (Proverbs, Pope). Preface: written two or three years before publication and not designed for the press; the author says the only phrenological work he has ever looked into is 'an elementary volume by Mr. Combe'. Eight chapters, ending p. 116 or later.

Editions held:

• Thoughts on Phrenology: or, Phrenology Tested by Reason and Revelation (1841)

Author: Anonymous. Imprint: published by Benjamin L. Green, 62, Paternoster Row in [London] (1852). Printer: W. J. and I. Hails, Printers, Ivy Lane, St. Paul's. Attribution is a self-description, not a name, and British imprint means no copyright line to decode - genuinely undecodable from the opening or closing pages. The place is not printed as a word; supplied in brackets from 62 Paternoster Row and the printer's Ivy Lane, St. Paul's. Printer's line appears twice, garbled at the opening and clearer at the end ('W. J. and I. Hails, Printers, Ivy Lane, St. Paul's'). Title page drops the article, 'VEIL UPLIFTED'; the running head and the body head-title both read 'The Veil Uplifted', which is followed here, and one connective in the subtitle is supplied in brackets. An anti-mesmerist tract arguing that phrenology and electro-psychology are the work of the Powers of Darkness, and that their 'revelations' of a future state are a counterfeit that proves the coin; 81 pp.

Editions held:

• The Veil Uplifted: and Mesmerism Traced to Its Source. Being an Exposure of the Leading Error of Phrenology; of the Object of Mesmerists to Confirm That Error; [and an] Examination of the Pretensions of Electro-Psychology (1852)

Author: Anonymous. Imprint: published by James H. West Company in Boston (1909). Copyright: James H. West Company (publisher, 1909). No imprint date; the year is taken from the archive's file name. Prefatory Note gives two reasons for anonymity, the writer claiming 'he has merely put together ideas of others'. Letters open from Denver, Colo. Epigraph from Henry James (the senior). The text closes with a Buddhist elephant parable 'Translated by Paul Carus' (a quotation, not a book-level credit).

• Mind Over Body: Letters to a Friend — A Christian Scientist (1909)

Author: Anonymous. Imprint: published by Carleton, Publisher, S. Low, Son, & Co. in New York, London (1869). Printer: The Women's Printing House, Eighth Street and Avenue A, New York. Copyright: George W. Carleton (publisher, 1869). Imprint date printed as MDCCCLXIX; copyright entered 1869 by George W. Carleton, Southern District of New York. Contents are mixed in form - essays, a tale (Charlotte Bronte's "Agnes Reef"), verse, satire - but the frame is a reported series of spirit communications, not authored fiction. Nothing in the opening or closing pages names the clairvoyant. At the end is G. W. Carleton's trade catalogue (Mary J. Holmes, Augusta J. Evans, Victor Hugo, Mayne Reid). University of California / Microsoft digitisation breadcrumbs through the front matter.

Carleton, New York

Author: A Convalescent. Imprint: published by S. H. Colesworthy, Haliburton & Dudley in Portland, Boston (1845). Author unrecoverable: the title page says only 'By A Convalescent', the introduction is signed 'THE AUTHOR' and dated May 24, 1845, and the letters close 'Your affectionate Husband'. What the text does say about him: a Portland, Maine man, more than twelve years married, writing from the Preble St. House, Portland, from Jan. 29, 1845, well read in mental philosophy (cites Upham's Elements of Mental Philosophy and Disordered Mental Action, the Youth's Book on the Mind, President Hitchcock and Prof. Fiske in the New Englander for April 1845), and an Odd Fellow — the closing pages are a defence of Odd Fellowship's conduct during his sickness. Two imprints, Portland and Boston. This copy carries the Harvard Widener stamp and prints the title page twice; no printer's colophon and no copyright line survive in this scan (another scan in the archive has both). OCR is heavily pitted with dropped ligatures ('hallucinations' as 'hallu<in^^^titions') but is readable throughout.

Editions held:

• Spectral Visitants, or Journal of a Fever (1845)

Author: A Convalescent. Imprint: published by S. H. Colesworthy, Haliburton & Dudley in Portland, Boston (1845). Printer: Thurston, Ilsley & Co., Printers and Stereotypers. Same edition as another scan in the archive, and the cleaner text: it carries 'COPYRIGHT SECURED ACCORDING TO LAW' — a bare formula naming no holder and no year — and the printer's line 'THURSTON, ILSLEY & CO., Printers and Stereotypers', absent from the other scan. Author unrecoverable: title page 'By A Convalescent', introduction signed 'THE AUTHOR' and dated May 24, 1845, letters closing 'Your affectionate HUSBAND'. Letters written from the Preble St. House, Portland, from Jan. 29, 1845 to a wife of more than twelve years, sent as an occupation for the mind during convalescence and published afterwards at friends' request; a set-piece on the hallucinations of fever with an appeal for the study of mental philosophy by nurses and attendants, closing with a defence of Odd Fellowship. Cites Upham, the Youth's Book on the Mind (published by William Hyde, Portland), President Hitchcock and Prof. Fiske in the New Englander for April 1845.

Editions held:

• Spectral Visitants, or Journal of a Fever (1845)

Author: A Dreamer. Published under the branded persona A Dreamer. Imprint: published by Estes and Lauriat in Boston (1888). Printer: University Press: John Wilson and Son, Cambridge. Copyright: Estes and Lauriat (publisher, 1888). Title page: 'The Dream of Love and Fire, By A Dreamer. Boston, Estes and Lauriat, Publishers' (OCR 'ESPES'); copyright line 'Copyright, 1888, By Estes and Lauriat' confirms the firm. Dedication: 'Dedicated to the Reincarnation of Cleopatra, by A Dreamer', preceded by a Greek/antique motto. Front matter prints the poem 'Antony to Cleopatra' with a Shakspeare epigraph, unattributed on the page. Illustration list credits plates to Gerome, H. Picou, Grolleau and A. Cabanel, frontispiece 'A Daughter of the Pharaohs'. A framed dream-narrative: a poor modern dreamer becomes Cleopatra consulting a pre-Adamic seer, who gives her the undetectable poison; closes 'The End' with the dreamer awake. Short book — text ends at p. 42. No real name appears anywhere in the opening or closing pages.

• The Dream of Love and Fire (1888)

Author: A Graduate of an University. Imprint: published by W. H. Terry in Melbourne (1872). Printer: E. Purton & Co., Steam Printers, 100 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne. Role-pseudonym attribution, repeated as the signature at the foot of the letter: A GRADUATE OF AN UNIVERSITY. The author justifies the anonymity in the opening paragraph — men and women are still estimated by their beliefs and not by their actions, so the fearless lover of truth must hesitate before exposing himself to moral persecution. Price sixpence, or 4s. a dozen; a closing note states that all profits arising from the sale of the first issue will be devoted to the Lecturers Fund. Addressed to the Very Rev. Dean Macartney of Melbourne in reply to his published attack on Spiritualism; quotes A. J. Daviss Natures Divine Revelations (31st edition) and Death and the After Life, and mentions Mr. Tyerman. Whately epigraph. Australian colonial imprint: published by W. H. Terry, 96 Russell Street.

Editions held:

• A Letter to the Very Rev. Dean Macartney, on Spiritualism (1872) — First issue

Author: Anonymous. Imprint: published by W. Baxter, Messrs. Hatchard and Son in Oxford, London (1834). An Oxford reply against the Irvingite gifts, arguing from Revelation xxii.18 that any claimed new inspiration is an addition under the ban. Attribution is the role-pseudonym 'By a Graduate' and nothing in the front matter or the (foreign) closing pages names the man; no copyright formula, as expected for a British imprint of this date. Published by W. Baxter of Oxford, sold by Hatchard and Son in London. Pairs thematically with the 1833 Remarks on Mr. Baxter's Narrative, on the opposite side of the argument.

Editions held:

• A Word Decisive of the Present Pretensions of the Gifts of Speaking with Tongues and Prophesying (1834)

Author: Anonymous. Imprint: published by L. G. Thomas in Philadelphia (1869). Printer: J. Moore & Sons, Printers, 1127 Sansom Street. Copyright line reads only "[Copyright secured according to law.]" with no holder named, so the author stays anonymous. The second line of the title (naming the departed spirits) is destroyed in the OCR of both the half-title and the title page and is supplied in square brackets from the archive's file name and the surviving subtitle; the exact wording is unconfirmed. Epigraph from Milton and 1 Corinthians 12. The book is a visitor's eyewitness account of spirit manifestations through Shaker instruments at Watervliet, N.Y., with a long contents list of the communicating personages (Indians, William Penn, Washington, Lafayette, Robespierre, Mirabeau, Franklin, Stephen Girard, Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Napoleon, Marie Antoinette, Shakspeare, Queen Elizabeth, Shelley, Nelson, Wesley, Whitefield, Pocahontas, Byron, George Fox, Ben Jonson and others); the writer concludes that the Shaker church was the first organised body to give what is called Modern Spiritualism. Contents run to p. 39-40, a pamphlet. Publisher and printer share the address 1127 Sansom Street.

• A Revelation of the [Extraordinary Visitation of Departed Spirits of] Distinguished Men and Women of All Nations, and Their Manifestation Through the Living Bodies of the "Shakers" (1869)

Author: A King's Counsel. Published under the branded persona A King's Counsel. Imprint: published by E. P. Dutton and Company in New York (1918). No date printed anywhere in the opening or closing pages ('All Rights Reserved'; 'Printed in the United States of America') — the year 1918 is taken from the archive's file name. Account of automatic-writing and Planchette communications received through the author's two daughters from April 1916. Opens with a spirit-poem in mock-seventeenth-century spelling dated 5th October 1917; Lord Lytton epigraph. Author a British barrister; family Church of England.

Editions held:

• "I Heard a Voice" or The Great Exploration (1918)

Author: A Lady. Imprint: published by John Wesley and Co. in London (1858). Printer: Mitchell and Son, Printers, Wardour-St., Oxford-St.. Doubly anonymous mediumistic work: an unnamed angel dictating to an unnamed lady, the words 'given to the writer in an abnormal state of the mind' and heard 'in her spirit-ear'. British imprint with no copyright registration, and nothing in the opening or closing pages identifies the lady. 185 pp. Printed by Mitchell and Son of Wardour Street, the same London printer as the William White issue of Rymer's Spirit Manifestations (1857).

Editions held:

• An Angel's Message, Being a Series of Angelic and Holy Communications (1858)

Author: A Lady. Imprint: in New York (1861). Printer: A. J. Brady, 56 Tryon Row, New York. Title-page also-wrote list: Further Communications from the World of Spirits; Essays on Various Subjects. Anonymous female medium; the only signature in the file is 'M.' over the date October 15, 1860, at the end of the closing address — an initial, not an identification. The introduction is signed by the spirit, 'Lorenzo Dow'. Lorenzo Dow, the itinerant preacher (d. 1834), is the claimed discarnate author; 'and others' are unnamed. No publisher named — the printer stands in for the publisher. Contents: On the Mediums, On Influence, On God, On Harmony, On Purity of Life, On the State of the Departed, On History, On the Happy, On the Power of Holy Spirit, On the Sabbath Day, On Death, On Fortitude, On Loving the World, On Crime, On Charity, On Truth, On Sobriety, On Love, On Marriage, On Suffering, On Zeal; with a printed erratum that the communication On Love should have stood last. The title page of another scan in the archive (filed as Essays on Various Subjects) names this book and 'Further Communications from the World of Spirits' as the same lady's — the three are one medium's series.

• Communications from the Spirit World, Given by Lorenzo Dow and Others, Through a Lady (1861)

Author: A Lady. Imprint: published by D. Appleton & Company in New York (1861). Copyright: John M—— (third-party, 1861). Title-page also-wrote list: Communications from the Spirit World; Further Communications from the World of Spirits. Copyright line reads 'Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1861, By Jo[h]n M——, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States, for the Southern District of New York'; the surname is garbled in the text layer (OCR gives 'Joan M/umm'), so only the forename is safe; the surname is unconfirmed. The imprint reads 'SOLD BY D. Appleton & Company, 443 and 445 Broadway' — Appleton is the distributor, not necessarily the publisher. Communicators, from the contents and the essay signatures: Benjamin Franklin (On the Philosophy of Motion), Cuvier (On Natural Philosophy), Paul the Martyr, Thomas Paine (twice), Jesus the Christ, Joshua the Son of Nun (twice), Washington (twice, the last 'A Few Remarks on the Present Contest', signed George Washington, May 1861), and Isaiah 'the Inspired Penman'. The preface states no particular spirit was deputed to write particular essays except the first two, that several spirits combined on each, and that the medium's evidence for this was the changes of handwriting as the controls took over; it also says her health gave way and the plan of the book changed to address the American war. Closing essay is an antislavery address on the debt owed to 'these poor Africans'. Same anonymous medium as the two other titles named on the title page.

• Essays on Various Subjects, Intended to Elucidate the Causes of the Changes Coming Upon All the Earth at the Present Time, Through the Nature of the Calamities That Are So Rapidly Approaching (1861)

Author: A Layman. Imprint: in Northampton (1855). Printer: J. & L. Metcalf. 24 pp. The substance of a reply to a letter from a sister residing in one of our Western States, hastily penned with no expectation of publication; an extract of her letter (dated spring, condemning the rappings) is printed first, then the answer, dated Northampton, June, 1855, and signed only Yours, affectionately. Title-page epigraph Daniel xii:4. No publisher is named - only PRINTED BY J. & L. METCALF, the printer standing in for the publisher. Place read as Northampton, Massachusetts on the internal American evidence, not Northampton, England. Sympathetic to Spiritualism against the writers correspondent and against the press.

• Spiritualism. The Bible and Our Ideas: Compared (1855)

Author: Anonymous. Imprint: published by John Allen, Otis Clapp, James S. Hodson in New York, Boston, London (1852). Printer: C. A. Alvord, Printer, 29 Gold-st., N. Y.. Copyright: John Allen (publisher, 1851). Title page OCRs the imprint year as 1832; impossible against the copyright entered 1851 by the publisher John Allen and against the year in the archive's file name, so read as 1852. Imprint: John Allen, 139 Nassau-Street, New York; Otis Clapp, 12 School-Street, Boston; James S. Hodson, London. Printer from the copyright verso. Copyright held by the publisher, not the author. A Swedenborgian apologia; the text closes with the ten propositions of the Second Coming and THE END. The text is large for a single octavo; read as one volume, unverified.

• The Nineteenth Century; or the New Dispensation: A Brief Examination of the Claims and Assertions of Emanuel Swedenborg (1852)

Author: Anonymous. Imprint: published by Colby & Rich, Publishers in Boston (1871). Copyright: William White & Co. (publisher, 1871). Role-pseudonym authorship ("BY A MEDICAL MAN"): the registration names the publishing firm rather than a person, so no identity can be recovered from the opening or closing pages. The date is the 1871 registration year of the work; the undated Colby & Rich imprint means this printing is probably later than 1871, and "Third Edition" is an impression statement with no revision language. Address 9 Montgomery Place, Boston. The text ends at printed page 67. Same William White & Co. house that publishes and prints the 1870 Van Namee novel in the archive.

Imprint date printed as MDCCCXXXVI. Dedication leaf reads only 'TO THE MEMORY OF GALL'. Printer's line OCRs as 'Primed at the University Press, by E. Kac' - the University Press, Glasgow, the personal name too damaged to transcribe.

The closing pages carry W. R.

The lecture attacks 'Rochester rappings', Mesmerism and Psychology, and coins mock-sciences 'Rapology', 'Har-o-logy' and 'Thusology'; it closes by naming the only trustworthy 'angelic mediums' as Wife, Mother, Sister, Daughter.

Author: Anonymous. Imprint: in Dunedin (1870). No imprint anywhere in the opening or closing pages: no publisher, no printer, no title-page date. Place and date come from the dedication, signed 'A SPIRITUALIST. Dunedin, 11th January, 1870' - a New Zealand (Otago) spiritualist pamphlet. Dedicated 'To the Reverend the Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Otago and Southland'. Title page carries the price ('Price' followed by an illegible figure), the note 'Second Edition', the motto MAGNA EST VERITAS, ET PRAEVALEBIT and epigraphs from Fichte, Longfellow and Tennyson. 'Second Edition' with no revision claim is treated as an impression, so the date is that of this printing. Nothing in the opening or closing pages supports an identification.

Author: Anonymous. Imprint: published by Occult Word Press in Rochester, New York (1887). First appeared in The Occult Word (Rochester, N.Y.) — the head of the text states 'Written for The Occult Word'. The byline OCRs as 'S.THEOSOPHIST' and reads 'A THEOSOPHIST'; no personal name appears anywhere. 'A Theosophist' is a descriptive anonym rather than a persona or house name. No date is printed; the year is taken from the archive's file name. Dedicated 'To the patient loving soul, for whose natal day the following lines were first written' — an unnamed woman described as near death. An alchemical allegory of three coalesced rings of salt, sulphur and mercury, quoting the title of Eirenaeus Philalethes' 'An Open Entrance to the Shut Palace of the King'; cast as a narrative parable, though its purpose is occult instruction. The title page reads 'The Riddle of Riddles' (singular).

Author: A Truth Seeker. Published under the branded persona A Truth Seeker. Imprint: published by Published for Agents and the Trade in Chicago, Ills. (1909). Copyright: L. H. Anderson (individual, 1909). Title page prints price ('Price, One Dollar') and 'Published for Agents and the Trade 1909' in place of a publisher's name. Pseudonym set in blackletter, OCR'd 'R Urutb Seefeer'. Copyright 1909 by L. H. Anderson, Chicago, whom the pseudonym likely conceals; the page itself does not say so. Includes a frontispiece portrait ('Very Truly Yours'). OCR is contaminated by HathiTrust boilerplate lines.

Broderick, 1 St. Thomas's Square, Ryde. Author signs only as 'A Working Man' on the title page and in the contents ('An Appeal in Behalf of Modern Spirit-Manifestations. By a Working Man'); no name in the front matter, only the role-pseudonym. The bulk of the volume is quoted testimony from named others (William Howitt, Rev. Thomas Starr King, Prof. De Morgan, Mrs. De Morgan, Robert Chambers, Judge Edmonds, Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Hall, Benjamin Coleman, J. Paul F.R.G.S.) - they are sources quoted, not credited co-authors.

• Is It True? An Appeal in Favour of the Truth and Consequent Importance of the Phenomena Generally Known as Spirit-Manifestations. To Which Is Added a Number of Quotations in Support of the Author's Views, from Popular and Reputable Sources (1864)

Author: Anonymous. Imprint: published by Russell, Odiorne, & Metcalf in Boston (1834). Copyright: Russell, Odiorne, & Metcalf (publisher, 1834). Title page carries no imprint year; the date comes from the copyright line, entered 1834 by the publishers Russell, Odiorne, & Metcalf in the District Court of Massachusetts — publisher-held, and the only legal name in the book, which does not decode the pseudonym. The subject is Mrs. Hanington, 'the Mysterious Lady', and her husband, whose blindfold second-sight act the writer explains as a confederacy code; the pamphlet opens by reprinting a credulous account from the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal and footnotes it in dissent, and the closing pages reprint English and New York Evening Star press puffs of the exhibition at the Museum, corner of Ann Street and Broadway. An early conjuring-exposure item rather than a spiritualist one. The author names himself only as a bachelor Yankee.

Editions held:

• Humbug: or an Expose of the Operation of "a Faculty Hitherto Unknown," by Which "the Mysterious Lady" Is Enabled to Perform Apparent Impossibilities (1834)

Author: Aaron. Imprint: in Paris (1843). No date is printed anywhere in the opening or closing pages, so the year 1843 is taken from the archive's file name. No publisher is named: the imprint reads only 'A Paris, chez tous les marchands de nouveautés' — a distribution statement. 'L'helléniste Aaron' is a pen-name; the Avertissement de l'auteur is signed AARON and promises biographies of everyone who has written on the occult, natural or divinatory sciences, stripped of the marvellous. Opens with a Biographie des mages (Agrippa, Albert le Grand, ...); the table of contents ends with parlour recipes and tricks.

Editions held:

• La Magie rouge, crème des sciences occultes, naturelles ou divinatoires (1843)

Compiler: Ezra Abbot. Imprint: published by W. J. Widdleton, Publisher in New York (1871). This work is by Ezra Abbot, Librarian of Harvard University (later Bussey Professor of New Testament Criticism), not by Francis Ellingwood Abbot, the Free Religious Association editor, a different New England man of the same era and surname. The subtitle's object line is destroyed on the title page and is supplied in brackets from the preface's own wording, "the subjects embraced in the bibliography - the Nature, Origin, and Destiny of the Soul". The title page says "COMPILED (ORIGINALLY) AS AN APPENDIX", and the work is a catalogue of other people's books; Alger is the author of the History it was appended to, not of this bibliography. Preface explains three years' work, a classed arrangement with chronological order inside each class, and titles mostly taken at second hand. The text ends with the index of Scripture passages, entry numbers running past 4,400. No volume marker stands on a line of its own in the text.

"All rights reserved." Title page carries epigraphs from Dante's Paradiso in Italian with Longfellow's translation, under the headings SCIENCE and THEISM; the dedication is an acrostic-style verse to the Hallowell memory, printed in blackletter. The preface names the other symposium lecturers - John Fiske, Prof. William T. Harris, Rev. Dr. Andrew P. Peabody, Prof. George H. Howison and Dr. Edward Montgomery (read by Thomas Davidson) - and traces the book to the author's 1864 North American Review articles and his exchanges with Herbert Spencer. Closes at p. 219 with the poem "The Religion of Science".

Self-published from the author's address, rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honore, 30. The dedication to Dr. Mure (Benoit Mure, homeopath) is signed with a doubled dating - a Hijri month-and-year alongside the Gregorian equivalent; the day reads '37' in the OCR and is certainly corrupt. Title page is set twice at the opening (a half-title repeat), not a second volume. The book divides into Livre I and Livre II within one volume - the text ends 'FIN DU LIVRE II ET DERNIER' - so it is a single volume. A footnote announces a forthcoming separate work, 'La Lumiere Initiatique', in three volumes in-8vo.

Burns's Spiritual Institution, 15 Southampton Row. Includes a five-hundred-guinea challenge to conjurers and paraffin moulds of spirit feet.

Author: Charles Aikin. Imprint: in Chicago, Illinois (1895). Printer: Regan Printing House, Chicago. Hollow-earth fantasy novel; preface disclaims burlesque on religion, 'a wild flight of fancy'.

• Forty Years With the Damned or Life Inside the Earth. A Novel (1895)

Author: W. Harrison Ainsworth. Imprint: published by George Routledge and Sons in London (1865). Title-page also-wrote list: The Tower of London. Title page legible and dated 1865; imprint "George Routledge and Sons, Broadway, Ludgate Hill". The connective "or," between the two title elements did not survive the scan and is supplied in brackets. The title-page author statement names other works by the author, OCR'd "THE TOWER OF LOUDON". Nothing in the opening or closing pages declares a reprinting, so the imprint year stands, but this text descends from Ainsworth's unfinished serial "Revelations of London" (Ainsworth's Magazine, 1844-46) and an earlier date may be the original, though the page gives no reprint statement to read it from. Prologue is dated 1599 and opens with the alchemist Doctor Lamb on London Bridge.

• Auriol; [or,] The Elixir of Life (1865)

Author: William Harrison Ainsworth. Imprint: published by G. Routledge & Co. in London (1849). Printer: Savill & Edwards, Printers, 4, Chandos-street, Covent-garden. Dated to the original work rather than this printing — the novel was serialised in the Sunday Times in 1848 and first published in book form in 1849, and this file is the 1854 Routledge one-volume reissue of that unchanged text; nothing on the title page states the reissue, so the original date is external knowledge, and the date could instead be the imprint's 1854. Dedicated to James Crossley, Esq., of Manchester, President of the Chetham Society and editor of 'The Discoverie of Witches in the County of Lancaster' (Potts), 'the groundwork of the following pages', the romance 'undertaken at his suggestion'. Epigraph from Shadwell. The text is long for one volume, but the file ends at p. 480 with 'THE END' and the printer's colophon and the contents list all three Books inside that one pagination, so it reads as a single volume. The closing pages carry a British Museum stamp '6 JU 54'. No volume marker stands on a line of its own in the text.

Author: Henry Aitchenbie. Imprint: published by John Camden Hotten in London (1867). This file contains three volumes concatenated. Three volumes concatenated in one file; the archive's file name says nothing about volumes. Two real internal title pages appear - one ('END OF VOL.

II.' then the same block reading VOL. III) - each followed by its own table of contents. The length of the text is consistent with three volumes, not one. Sensation novel: mesmerism, a malign mesmerist, seances and clairvoyant visions, Dresden, Lyons and Paris; each volume 29-24 chapters. At the end is Hotten's own advertising catalogue. Running heads for volumes II and III appear in the text.

Author: Ten. Alcott. Imprint: published by John Wiley & Sons in New York (1887). Printer: Drummond & Neu, Electrotypers, 3, 5 & 7 Hague Street, New York. Copyright: John Wiley & Sons (publisher, 1887). The author's forename abbreviation is OCR-damaged: the title page prints 'BY TEN. ALCOTT', which may well read 'Jno.' or 'Ben.' under the display type — left as printed, so the forename is uncertain. The copyright page interleaves two columns in OCR: 'Copyright, 1887, By John Wiley & Sons' and 'Drummond & Neu, Electrotypers, 3, 5 & 7 Hague Street, New York'. The title-page imprint reads 'New York: John Wiley & Sons, [15?] Astor Place' under damage. Dedication: 'To Eda, a bairn of Friga's-Daeg, Oct. 25th, 1878, this little book of birthday lore is lovingly dedicated by Her Papa.' Epigraphs from Charles Lamb's Essays of Elia and from Dr. Young. The Anglo-Saxon weekday form 'Friga's-Daeg' is a day-name, not a dating scheme. Content runs from the planetary configurations at the child's birth through saints' days and trade legends (St. Crispin, the Gentle Craft).

The author statement names other works by the author ('Author of…'), and the author's editorial offices ('Editor of the Library of Health and the Annals of Education') are printed with the name. Preface: the volume gathers the testimony of nearly one hundred individuals, more than fifty of them medical men, on vegetable diet; Alcott says he has been collecting materials more than twenty-five years and that this book and 'The Young House-Keeper' cost three years at fourteen or fifteen hours a day. Other works by the author are named both in the title-page appositive and in the publisher's front catalogue; 'Mother in her Family' comes from the preface. The text ends with the closing moral argument against flesh-eating, no colophon.

Author: John Alderson. Imprint: published by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, Brown, and Green, Paternoster-Row in London (1823). First appeared in The Edinburgh Medical and Chirurgical Journal, 1810 (printed there without the author’s knowledge); reprinted at Manchester, 1813. Dedicated to Sir James M’Grigor, M. D. F. R. S., Director-General, Army Medical Department, the dedication dated Kingston upon Hull, September 1, 18-3 (OCR renders 1828; the 3 is broken). Lucretius epigraph (Ea quae rerum simulacra vocamus). The introduction is a priority claim: the essay was read in manuscript for years, printed in the Edinburgh journal in 1810 without the author’s knowledge, reprinted at Manchester in 1813 by a physician there advancing the same theory, and is republished in book form at friends’ recommendation to prevent a suspicion of plagiarism, with the author releasing his claim to whatever novelty there may be to Ferriar and Nathan Drake. Four chapters: universal belief in ghosts (Addison, Luther); statement of facts and cases; treatment and cure, with reverie, somnambulism, partial insanity and delirium distinguished; Shakspeare, Locke, Macbeth and Hamlet. A short essay.

• An Essay on Apparitions, in Which Their Appearance Is Accounted For by Causes Wholly Independent of Preternatural Agency (1823) — New Edition, revised and corrected

Author: Aleph. Imprint: in Manchester (1845). Printer: Cave and Sever, Printers, 18, St. Ann's Street. No publisher and no date on the page: the only imprint is the printers' line at the end, Cave and Sever of Manchester, standing in for a publisher as small imprints of this period do. The year 1845 is taken from the archive's file name, and independently supported by the text, which reviews Newnham's Human Magnetism (8vo, 1845) and quotes Professor Bush's Anastasis, New York, 1845. Structurally a signed review article, headed 'REVIEW ON MESMERIC PHENOMENA', of four works: Deleuze, Histoire critique du magnétisme animal, 2nd ed. 1819; Animal Magnetism Delineated by its Professors, reprinted from the British and Foreign Medical Review No. 14, 1839; Pyne, Vital Magnetism; a Remedy, 18mo, 1844 — also held in the archive; and Newnham, Human Magnetism, 8vo, 1845. Addressed to readers of the Intellectual Repository, the New Church (Swedenborgian) magazine, and arguing that mesmeric phenomena confirm Swedenborg's physiology; the page says it is addressed to those readers, not that it was reprinted from the magazine. Epigraphs from Newnham and from Miss Martineau. The date and attribution are accordingly uncertain: the imprint carries no date and the authorship is an unresolved pseudonym.

Author: Nathan Allen. Imprint: published by James P. Walker in Lowell (1853). Printer: Thurston, Torry, and Emerson. Copyright: James P. Walker (publisher, 1853). Dated 1853 rather than 1850: the 'Notice' states this edition is 'somewhat enlarged as well as improved, by introducing additional facts, and bringing down the statistics of the trade to the present time', which is a genuine new edition, not a reissue.

Author: Avery Allyn. Imprint: published by William Gowans in New York (1853). Copyright: William Gowans (publisher, 1853). An anti-masonic expose by a renouncing member: the Introduction states he was 'a member of the masonic fraternity' and recants, describing the order as 'lawless banditti'. The front matter reproduces Allyn's own Knight Templar diploma from New-Haven Encampment No. 2, Connecticut, dated 16 January A.D. 1827 (and 'of the order of Knight Templars 709'), signed by Laban Smith, Wm. H. Jones, Benjamin M. Hill, Timo. P. Beers and William H. Ellis, Recorder. Title-page epigraph signed 'Moore'. Copyright entered by the publisher William Gowans; the year digits are broken in the OCR but the imprint date is 1853. Allyn's Ritual is known from earlier editions (Philadelphia, 1831) and nothing in the opening or closing pages states an edition or an earlier date - if this proves an unchanged reissue, the date would be 1831; it is dated to the imprint on the evidence of this copy. At the end is the publisher's classified bibliography of masonic and secret-society books with prices and dates. NYPL stamp.

The pseudonym "Alpha" is cracked by the registration line, "Entered according to Act of Congress by STEPHEN M. ALLEN". That line's year OCRs as 1876 against an 1875 imprint, which is implausible for a pre-publication registration, and is read here as 1875 — the OCR reading is noted rather than silently corrected.

Title-page also-wrote list: Programme of the Universal Intelligence Office, or Bureau of Supply and Demand; Constitution, or Organic Basis of the New Catholic Church; Articles of Faith of the First Church Congregation of the New Catholic Church. Title page carries a printer, not a publisher. 'Andrusius' is the Latinised surname and the Pantarch is Stephen Pearl Andrews's own office; the identification is supported elsewhere in the archive (his Pantarchy circle recurs in the 1872 Universology front matter, whose introducers include Prof. M. A. Clancy — the same Hon. Michael A. Clancy given here as the address for further information). No opening or closing page prints the name, so the attribution is inferred. The 'other related documents now in print' listed at the end are given as related, not as by the author. William S. Andrews is a second Andrews: copyright holder only, no work of his own here. 22 pp.

Editions held:

• Constitution, or Organic Basis of the Pantarchy (1860)

Author: Stephen Pearl Andrews. Imprint: published by Charles B. Norton in New York (1854). Printer: Baker, Godwin & Co., Printers, Tribune Buildings, New York. First appeared in Prepared as a paper for the American Ethnological Society and read before the New York Historical Society, 6 November 1849; reported in an extra of the New York Tribune. Subtitle line set in blackletter; 'Symbolism of the Characters' is what this scan supports and no word is supplied. The introduction calls the book 'a specimen of a larger work' on all the primitive Chinese characters, contemplated and set aside — a projected work, not a projected volume. Ends p. 137. Same hand as the Universology works in the archive: philology as the road to Alwato.

Editions held:

• Discoveries in Chinese, or the Symbolism of the Characters of the Chinese System of Writing, as a Contribution to Philology and Ethnology and a Practical Aid in the Acquisition of the Chinese Language (1854)

Authors: Henry James, Horace Greeley, Stephen Pearl Andrews. Imprint: published by Benj. R. Tucker, Publisher in Boston, Massachusetts (1889). First appeared in The New York Tribune. Imprint year OCRs as '18849'; the year 1889 is taken from the archive's file name. The introductory chapter records that the Tribune closed its columns to Andrews mid-discussion. The Henry James here is Henry James the elder, the Swedenborgian. An advertisement at the end (address Sarah E. Holmes, Box 3366, Boston) offers a two-part work, 'The True Constitution of Government in the Sovereignty of the Individual...' and 'Cost the Limit of Price', almost certainly Andrews's Science of Society, but the ad prints no author. Second ad at the end: Anarchism: Its Aims and Methods, by Victor Yarros - not Andrews.

Title-page also-wrote list: The Science of Society; Discoveries in Chinese; The Basic Outline of Universology. Imprint 141 Fulton Street. Dedicated to Mrs. E. Thompson. Epigraph John 1:1. The preface states that this smaller book was written to introduce 'The Basic Outline of Universology', which the publisher had announced first and which is the 1872 work also held in the archive — the two are companion works by one hand, not volumes of one work. Alwato is Andrews's constructed universal language. Index cites Swedenborg and W. D. Whitney.

Trall, John Swinton, E. L. Youmans, Mrs. E. Thompson, several 'large paper' copies), useful evidence of Andrews's American audience. The volume is a single very large book with a long index, and nothing in the opening or closing pages announces a further volume.

At the end is an advertisement soliciting subscribers and clubs for 'the Propagandist', the movement's periodical, which printed phonography as continuing reading lessons. NYPL accession 567140.

Introduction explains that the whole book is deliberately set in ORDINARY type with no phonographic characters at all — the object being to teach writing, not reading, phonography, and a phonographic setting being too bulky and expensive.

Mr. ——", writing from Phalanx, N.J., January 16th 1874) and the Spiritualist J. B. Angell, who signs the closing letter. Title page gives no attribution proper: the author is taken from the copyright line, "Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1874, by J. B. Angell", and from that signature. No publisher and no imprint date are printed (imprint reads only "Red Bank, N.J."), so the year 1875 is taken from the archive's file name, while the copyright year stands at 1874.

The letterpress title-page words 'The Master Key of Futurity' also come through as decorative-font gibberish and have been read from context. Epigraphs from Shakespeare (Tempest, Hamlet) and Milton; verse motto signed L. E. L. At the end is the index (talismans, raising the spirit of a suicide, tables of houses, geomantic figures). The text is heavy for one volume; the work was assembled from periodical parts, and a volume divide marked only by a half-title has not been ruled out.

• The Dream of Ravan: A Mystery (1895)

Author: Anonymous. Imprint: published by Burns, Oates, & Company in London (1875). Translation of: German (the original title is not printed on this title page; the page says only "Translated from the German"). Title page: "London: Burns, Oates, & Company, Portman Street and Paternoster Row. 1875." A translation, dated to the translation, 1875; the German original's date is not stated on the page. The title page names nobody at all; the preface speaks as "we" and states outright that the authors "carefully avoided any mention of the names of persons yet living". The name Pachtler comes only from the archive's file name, not from anything printed in the opening or closing pages; it is not an identification. The unsigned Introduction is by an English hand: it opens on the Marquis of Ripon's resignation of the Grand Mastership and the Prince of Wales's acceptance of it. Preface closes with a long quotation from Barruel, "Memoires pour servir a l'Histoire du Jacobinisme", vol. i p. 20, Hamburg 1803. Contents run to an appendix of documentary evidence (speeches of Grand Master Verhaegen and Grand Orator Bourlard, the Paris Commune demonstration, Masonic banquets, the obsequies of Leopold I, the oath of the Papal Zouaves, Pius IX). At the end is a Burns & Oates catalogue (Anne Catherine Emmerich; St Winifride; Blessed Margaret Mary Alacoque by Rev. Charles B. Garside; the Catholic Truth Tracts / Manchester Dialogues by Fr Harper, S.J.).

OCR interleaves two-column setting and HathiTrust boilerplate (Deveney/Cornell scan); the author statement is reconstructed from the doubled columns, so the reading is not wholly certain.

Author: L. M. Arnold. Imprint: in Poughkeepsie, New York (1852). This file contains three volumes concatenated. This copy is very probably the concatenated series, not one book. Another scan in the archive (filed as The History of the Origin of All Things) carries an identical title page, introduction and preface in a much shorter text - it is the stand-alone six-cent first number - which makes this much longer text the whole series under that same opening page. The claimed authors are God's Holy Spirits, collective and unnamed; the page itself calls Arnold the medium. As divine communication, the work could instead be treated as authored by L. M. Arnold; this is not settled. No publisher: printed at his expense, published by direction of the spirits, no copyright claimed. Place is the author's own designation, of Poughkeepsie, N.

Two title pages in the scan: a six-cent wrapper title, then the full title identical to that of another scan in the archive (filed as History of Man), whose introduction and preface are also word for word the same - this is the stand-alone first number of the series, and that much longer scan appears to be the whole series concatenated behind the same page. The other numbers are held separately (filed as History of Man and History of the World). Preface: the whole was delivered word by word, so that two unwritten words were never at once known to the medium, and written in less than two weeks amid a large family; the punctuation alone was mainly the medium's own intellect.

Baillière, 219 Regent Street, 1848; colophon 'Walton and Mitchell, Printers, 34, Wardour-street'. The title page states the reprint relation outright ('Extracted from The Zoist'), and the publisher's address is The Zoist's own. Opens with two quoted transcripts — a lunacy-commission newspaper report and the Select Committee on Medical Registration minutes (pp. 1300-1303) — used as the polemical target; Elliotson's Harveian Oration is the footnoted occasion.

Bailly Bailliere in London, New York, Paris, Melbourne, Madrid (1867). 8vo, 12s. 6d. (price from the publisher's own catalogue entry reprinted at the end). Title page carries three St John epigraphs and 'Magna est veritas et prevalebit'. Dedicated to John Obadiah Newell Rutter, civil engineer at the Black Rock, Brighton, discoverer of the Magnetoscope. Introduction explains the book's disjointed shape - written as essays or chapters, 'disjointed links of a chain' - and runs a force-cosmology from crystalline polarity up to 'the magnet, or grand crystal, Man'. At the end is Bailliere's alphabetical catalogue of mesmeric and spiritualist books (Thouret 1784, Townshend, Topham and Ward, Tuttle, Tiffany, Woodman, Wright etc.). The text is long but consistent with a thick single 8vo plus that catalogue, and the page projects no further volume.

The closing pages carry the parent periodical's own wrapper — 'The British Spiritual Telegraph, being a general record of spiritual phenomena, London: F. Pitman, 20, Paternoster Row, 1859' (OCR '1869') — which is where the second publisher and the date come from.

No date on the page — the year is taken from the archive's file name, corroborated by the other supplement's 1859 wrapper. Argues from matter and force, the five senses and Herschel's telescope to a mesmeric origin of spiritual phenomena, and refers to Reichenbach's researches, for which Ashburner wrote the preface. The text closes with a quoted passage signed W. M. Wilkinson on the spread of automatic writing and drawing (fifteen of the first seventeen sitters' hands moved within five minutes) — a quotation, not a contribution. A single essay-pamphlet.

Author: W. L.. Imprint: published by Printed for the Author, Sold by Burns, 15 Southampton Row, London, W.C. in London (1885). The text is long. The contents list and the closing pages both belong to one volume (the text ends with the John of Leyden control, the last item before 'Concluding Remarks'), and no later title page or volume marker is visible, so it is read as one volume, unverified; a bound-in sequel has not been ruled out. Imprint year is broken in the OCR but reads 1885, agreeing with the archive's file name. Preface: the published controls are a selection of a few out of more than twelve hundred, uttered by a working-man of no more than average ability in complete trance, taken down in cipher and recorded verbatim. Communicators are grouped as Oriental Controls (Lord Clive, Sevagee, Sultan Bajazet, Cornwallis, Wellington, Sir Charles Napier, Azim Oollah Khan, Dost Mahomed Khan), Ancient Greek and Roman (Pythagoras, Aesop, Anaxagoras, Pericles, Socrates, Aristophanes, Plato, Aristotle, Numa Pompilius, Cato, Scipio, Julius Caesar, Cicero, Catullus, Julian the Apostate), Miscellaneous (Busiris 'the Ancient of Days' in six controls, Menu, Budha, Mahomed, Jesus son of Ananus, Onesimus) and Renaissance (Luther, Knox, Faust, Cromwell, Raleigh, Shakespeare, Strafford, Barrow, Dryden, Swift, Pope, Thomas Paine in four controls, John of Leyden).

NEWBY, 72, MORTIMER St. CAVENDISH Sq. 1845.') stands immediately after 'END OF VOL. II'; Vol II is present (signature line 'VOL II. F' and a contiguous run of VOL II running heads).

Dedicated 'To Henry George Atkinson, Esq., F.G.S.'; 'Directions to Binder' lists plates for vols 1-3 (Mesmer, Augusta, Aurelius, Harry Scales, Cecilia, Julia, Don Juan, 'The organs of public opinion'). Preface in verse ('Incantation'); Introduction discusses the author's earlier burlesque of Disraeli's Coningsby.

The author states in the text that The Seventh Vial was published in 1849 and that the present book belongs to the same series, repeating its statements where his plan requires. He affirms belief in the scriptures as the inspired word of God while arguing the Bible contains no theological mysteries at all; the appendix concerns Freemasonry and reads the Masons into Isaiah.

Authorship-by-reference to an earlier novel, and the anonymity is deliberate and acknowledged in the text: 'resting as the assertion must, for the present, on an anonymous affirmation, that the writer of these lines...'. 'The Experience of a Sceptic' stands as a drop-head subtitle on the opening page rather than on the title page proper. Imprint F. Pitman, 20 Paternoster Row, E.C.; the closing pages are a Pitman ad-list (Mary C. Hume Rothery, Lewis Hough, Alexander J. Ellis, George Vasey). A first-person narrative of London seances written against sceptical objection. The length of the text is within the normal range for a Victorian octavo: single volume.

Imprint address 19, rue Hautefeuille, près du boulevard Saint-Germain. The title page gives the author only as 'Le Dr Azam' — no forename appears anywhere in the opening or closing pages, and Charcot's preface prints the surname as 'M. A\am' throughout under OCR damage; the identifying office line is 'Professeur à la Faculté de médecine de Bordeaux, Correspondant de l'Académie de Médecine de Paris'. Charcot's preface is dated 1er janvier 1887 and credits Azam as the first in France to test Braid's results by personal experiment. The first title page OCRs the date as '18S7'; the second, repeated title page reads 1887 cleanly. The opening and closing pages both carry the full series advertisement for the Bibliothèque scientifique contemporaine (Beaunis, Cullerre, Brouardel, Cazeneuve, Schmitt, Girard, Quatrefages, Bourru & Burot, Duclaux, Folin, Bouant) — publisher's back matter, not part of the work. The 'Avertissement des éditeurs' says the publishers gathered Azam's earlier work into this volume, but the opening pages are cut before they name where that work first appeared. The title page's leading word is 'Hypnotisme'.

The title page prints the author's surname only, inside the title ('BAGG ON MAGNETISM'); the personal attribution comes from the dedication, signed 'J. H. BAGG.' The US copyright deposit (District Court, District of Michigan, 12 December 1844) reads in the OCR 'Joseph R. Bags' - the given-name initial disagrees with the dedication's 'J. H.' and the OCR here is poor, so the forename is not settled, and the identification of the person is accordingly uncertain. Copyright year 1844, imprint 1845.

GLASGOW: PRINTED BY THOMAS MURRAY AND SON. 1864.' No publisher - a private Glasgow job printing, so the printer stands in for the publisher. The author states he suppressed communications of a personal nature and reduced several names to initials in the printed copy, which is why the text is thinner in names than the manuscript. Narrative of sittings begun in London, February 1863, with a medium whose address he had from a Stock Exchange friend, and continued in his own family; his fourteen-year-old son is the family medium; refers investigators to 'the Marshalls, the Mediums in Bloomsbury'.

• Natural Evidence of a Future Life, Derived from the Properties and Actions of Animate and Inanimate Matter (1835)

Author: John Balbirnie · Contributor: Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer. Imprint: published by Fowlers and Wells in New York (1854). Title page: 'Illustrated with the Confessions and Observations of Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer'; the contents end with a 'Letter of Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer'. This is an American reissue of the Second London Edition, but no London date is printed anywhere in the opening or closing pages, so the year 1854 (= this American imprint) is taken from the archive's file name, though the London date, if found, may apply instead. Imprint is the Fowler family firm in the form 'Fowlers and Wells', Hydropathic Publishers, Water-Cure Journal Office, 131 Nassau Street (the closing pages give Clinton Hall, 131 Nassau-street); the imprint bears on nothing here, the author is not a Fowler. Dedication inscribed to the supporters of public baths and parks, temperance men, medical societies and the sick. At the end is the Fowlers and Wells priced catalogue.

Attribution line reconstructed from badly degraded OCR ('Prqftuor-&ct in Princeton (JoiUgl, Prof. tn tlu Unlwrntv qf Toronto'); the affiliations are offices, printed with the name, and the author statement names the author's Handbook of Psychology. Preface: an abridgement of the author's larger Handbook of Psychology, made at the request of university teachers who found that book too long and expensive as a class text; the treatment of the nervous system moved to the front, a glossary added. Illustrated with brain figures after Exner and after Schafer and Horsley. At the end is a Henry Holt educational catalogue (Shaw, Sigler, C. J. Smith, Witt, Williams), not the author's own works. A mainstream academic psychology textbook, and James Mark Baldwin is not the Samri S. Baldwin or E. W. Baldwin of other works in the archive.

Both names come from those other scans in the archive and appear nowhere in the opening or closing pages of this copy. Body is Italian verse; the editorial matter is English.

No publisher is named; the copyright is entered by the performer himself and the only trade name printed is the Brooklyn press. The year in the copyright line is destroyed in OCR ('in the year liM'), and no imprint date is printed, so the year is taken from the archive's file name. 'The White Mahatma' is a stage sobriquet of a real man, not a house persona. Front matter carries a permanent American address for correspondence and press puffs; at the end is a reprinted interview in which he says he was born in Cincinnati, studied theology and medicine, enlisted, worked as a newspaper reporter, has 'made the circle of the globe four times', and collects rubies. Samri S. Baldwin is very likely Samuel Spencer Baldwin; the printed form is 'Prof. S. S. Baldwin'.

Author: Richard Ball. Imprint: published by Messrs. Scatcherd and Whitaker, H. D. Simmonds, H. Lemoine in London (1794). Imprint roman numeral is malformed as printed/OCR'd - 'MDCCXCXV' - so the year cannot be read off the page; the year 1794 is taken from the archive's file name, with 1795 equally possible. Publisher line transcribed as it stands: 'H. D. SIMMONDS, No. 21, Paternoster-Row' is almost certainly the London bookseller H. D. Symonds, but the page as scanned reads Simmonds. The reviser is sourced from the signature to the 'Advertisement to the Present Edition' - 'H. Lemoine' - who is also the third name in the imprint (Bishopgate Passage); he says he was 'called upon to conduct a periodical publication on the subject of occult science' and issued this as the introduction his correspondents wanted. A separate 'Preface to the Original Edition' signed Richard Ball shows the text is an older compendium reissued. One leaf of manuscript annotation OCRs as pure noise between the title page and the preface. 'In Three Parts' is an internal division, not volumes

Author: S. Baring-Gould. Imprint: published by Roberts Brothers in Boston (1880). Printer: University Press: John Wilson & Son, Cambridge. Title page: 'CURIOUS MYTHS OF THE MIDDLE AGES. BY S. BARING-GOULD, M.A. BOSTON: ROBERTS BROTHERS. 1880.' with 'University Press: John Wilson & Son, Cambridge' below. Sixteen chapters listed in the contents (The Wandering Jew, Prester John, The Divining Rod, The Seven Sleepers of Ephesus, Dog Gellert, William Tell, The Tailed Men, Antichrist and Pope Joan, The Man in the Moon, The Mountain of Venus, St. George, The Legend of the Cross, Schamir, Melusina, The Fortunate Isles, The Knight of the Swan) — one continuous volume, both series printed together. No copyright line and no edition statement in the opening or closing pages; the date is taken as printed. This is an American reprint by an American house of an English collection that first appeared in London in the 1860s; nothing in the opening or closing pages states an earlier date, so 1880 stands, but the full text may carry a preface that does. At the end is Roberts Brothers' catalogue and its 'No Name Series' list, not works by this author.

Cover imprint address 29, rue de Trévise; imprint year garbled in OCR ('^95', read as 1895 matching the archive's file name). Text says the Trinity/quaternary principle was 'appliquée précédemment, en cette revue' — likely first serialised in an occult review, unnamed in the opening or closing pages.

• Synthèse de l'Esthétique: La Peinture (1895)

Author: George Barlow. Imprint: published by James Burns in London (1876). Printer: H. Nisbet. Title-page also-wrote list: Under the Dawn. Imprint James Burns, 15 Southampton Row, Holborn, W.C., London, 1876; printed at Glasgow by H. Nisbet, 219 George Street. Title-page epigraph 'Have faith in God.-Jesus Christ.' A first-page footnote calls the piece 'this article' and sets it beside Wallace's Fortnightly Review articles as the theoretical counterpart to Wallace's experimental ones, so it very likely appeared first in a periodical - Burns's own Human Nature being the obvious candidate - but the page does not say so. A Public Library of Victoria stamp is smeared across the title page and page 3. At the end are press notices of Barlow's volume of poems Under the Dawn (Morning Post 19 May 1875, Human Nature Sept. 1875, National Reformer 3 Oct. 1875).

• The Gospel of Humanity; or, The Connection between Spiritualism and Modern Thought (1876)

Author: George Barlow. Imprint: published by John Camden Hotten in London (1871). This file contains three volumes concatenated. Epigraph from Longfellow ('The rapture of pursuing / Is the prize the vanquished gain'). Part I opens with the dedicatory sonnet-pair 'Sand and the Bays' and the sonnet series 'Love'; several poems printed in first, second and third versions side by side. Harvard College Library copy, 'Gift of Miss Longfellow, Mrs. Dana, and Mrs. Thorp, 20 Dec. 1894'. Volume count is inferred from the printed Part markers, not from a second title page. No volume marker stands on a line of its own in the text.

Editions held:

• Poems and Sonnets (1871) — Part I on the title page; the file runs through to 'END OF PART III'

Author: Anonymous. Imprint: published by G. A. Starling, 40, Leicester Square in London (1838). Printer: D. Adlard, Bartholomew Close. Imprint date roman, MDCCCXXXVIII = 1838, agreeing with the year in the archive's file name and with the preface's July 16, 1838. Preface projects a SEQUEL, not a further volume of this work — 'another volume is in contemplation, in which it is proposed to give a more enlarged and comprehensive view of… the Disease of Man' — so this is not one volume of a projected multi-volume work. The text is large but consistent with the printed extent, since the index at the end runs to page 566; no internal title page or spelled-out volume marker appears in the opening or closing pages. Contents: an ovum-of-the-universe cosmology in three stages (oval, foetal, locomotive), with the heart as our sun and the earth part of a universal foetus; scripture citations (Acts xvii. 28; Colossians iii. 3) and Whewell, Brougham and Plato in the notes.

Imprint: published by Lackington, Allen, & Co., Finsbury Square in London (1816). Printer: Macdonald and Son, Cloth Fair. Published anonymously.

That is corroboration, not proof; the page names nobody.

This file contains projected multi-volume, one volume held concatenated. The title page states 'TWO VOLUMES / VOL. I', and the file ends 'END OF VOL. I' at page 251, so this file holds Volume I only.

Author: C. M. Barrows. Imprint: in Boston (1885). Printer: Deland and Barta. Price 35 cents; 88 pp. No publisher is named: the imprint reads 'Boston: Deland and Barta, Printers. 1885', with 'Mutual News Company, Boston, Agents' beneath, and the copyright stands in the author's own name — an author-published booklet. The scanned copy is the Army Medical Library / National Library of Medicine one, with accession stamps bound in, and its second title page carries a damaged date reading '88?' against the clear 1885 of the first. Four parts: marvellous cures and odd prescriptions; applied mental remedies (attention and exclusion, sympathy, controlling fear, imagination, will-power, good temper); metaphysical healers and Christian Scientists; the philosophy of psychical healing, 'a gospel of self-help'. Cites Rev. Dr A. A. Miner and Hosea Ballou, quotes Lowell, and closes on a long passage from Emerson.

Editions held:

• Facts and Fictions of Mental Healing (1887)

Author: Augustin Barruel. Imprint: (1797). Translation of: French — the Translator's Preface refers throughout to "the French original"; neither the French title nor the translator's name appears in the opening and closing pages. This file contains four volumes concatenated. No title page at the start of the text: the title is taken from the archive's file name and corroborated from the work's own text, since the Translator's Preface sets out the three-part conspiracy structure (Antichristian / Antimonarchical / Antisocial) that identifies Barruel's Memoires pour servir a l'histoire du Jacobinisme. Author is therefore inferred, not stated. The head of the scan carries a 'BIBLIOTHEQUE S. J., les Fontaines, 60 CHANTILLY' Jesuit library stamp. The text ends not with a colophon but with a loyalist address to Englishmen about petitions and parliamentary reform — probably a bound-in appendix or a later volume's matter. The length of the text is consistent with four volumes in one scan; running heads for volumes II, III and IV appear in the text.

Author: George Barth. Imprint: published by H. Bailliere, 219, Regent Street in London (1851). Printer: Thomas Scott, Printer, 1, Warwick Court, Holborn. 'Second Edition' is stated with no revision, enlargement or correction signal, so it reads as an impression of an earlier text - but the first edition's date is not printed anywhere in the opening or closing pages, so the date is this 1851 imprint, though it would move to the first edition's year if that were established. Barth disclaims originality, calls himself 'merely a retailer of other men's discoveries', and refers readers to Sandby, Townshend, Teste and Deleuze (all obtainable at Bailliere's) and to Dr. Elliotson's papers in The Zoist. The closing page repudiates the mixing of spiritual agency with mesmerism while conceding that supernatural agency can work effects, and warns fellow mesmerists off it.
