Albanese, Catherine. CORRESPONDING MOTION: Transcendental Religion and the New America.
Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1977. FIRST EDITION.
Fine cloth volume in fine dust jacket. 210 pages with index. On September 19, 1836, Ralph Waldo Emerson and some of his friends gathered at the home of George Ripley for an evening of serious conversation. In addition to Emerson and Ripley, this first meeting of the Transcendentalist Club included Amos Bronson Alcott, James Freeman Clarke, Frederic Henry Hedge, and Convers Francis. It was an auspicious hour for America's intellectual future. In the course of the next century and a half, the movement these men began would be studied as economics, aesthetics, philosophy, literature, even ecology. But surprisingly few scholars would confront their thought in the terms the Transcendentalists had formulated it - as a religion. This book is meant to do just that. -- from the jacket.

Ansell, Robert. (ed.) ABRAXAS: An Esoteric Journal.
London: Fulgur Limited, 2009. CUSTOM PAPER
Nearly all the material in the new ABRAXAS will be published for the first time with contributions by writers and artists from across the globe, including Australia, the United States, Mexico, Italy and the United Kingdom. These esoteric, magickal essays are from diverse sources within the esoteric community. Many of these pieces were written especially for the Journal. Artists are also well represented with both established masters and emerging talents: a feast for the eyes & soul. Our poets include Allyson Shaw, Zachary Cox and, from beyond the veil, Aleister Crowley, whose evocative verse ‘Babalon’ finally finds itself in print more than sixty years after it was written. Produced in a large quarto format, with 128 pages printed on high quality paper and richly illustrated in color and monochrome, we hope ABRAXAS will offer you a new mirror through which may be glimpsed the zeitgeist of the global occult community today. Literary contributions for this inaugural issue include: The Green Intercessor Tutelary Spirits and the Transmission of Plant-Magic by Daniel A. Schulke; Caveat Anonyter! A Study of Flying Ointments and their Plants by Sarah Penicka-Smith; Sorceries of the Threshold: Transgression into the Between States by Anon; The Uncertainty of Illumination, Gnosis and Epistemology in Traditional Craft by Stuart Inman; Lucifer by Starlight :An Interview with Francesco Parisi; The Third Eye: The Fantastic World of Lobsang Rampa by Phil Hine; Transmutations of Good and Evil: Alchemy, Witchcraft and the Graal in the Work of Arthur Machen by Edward Gauntlett; Skip Witches, Hop Toads by Stephen Grasso; A Dream of Witchcraft Turned to Nightmare: The Five Witches of Albrecht Durer by John Callow; On Sappho by James Butler.

Atkinson, John Laidlaw. PRINCE SIDDARTHA: The Japanese Buddha. With an Introduction by Rev. F.E. Clark.
Boston/Chicago: Congregational Sunday School and Publishing Society, 1893. FIRST EDITION.
Deco front panel with stupa and orthodox swastika; covers are well handled, but binding is firm; text is excellent; VERY GOOD CLOTH COPY. Said to have been first issued in Japan in 1665, this semi-biography is here for the first time translated into English though hardly a literal translation. Noting the publisher, it appears that much interpolation has been added to reflect some comparative contrasts with Christianity. Most interesting, regardless. 309 pages. Scarce volume. Small octavo.
