    Spiritualism – Its History Phenomena and Doctrine – by Arthur Hill introduced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle – 1918

    A first edition published Cassell, London 1918. Original cloth binding 270 pages … pretty good copy of a rare book … superb content.

    Conan Doyle’s introduction is very pointed. Hill, an authority sets out his history beginning (as you would) with the Antecedents – the Moral Revolt against Hell etc.; Swedenborg (born 1688) .. a Prophet? And his confluence with Mesmerism in America; cases such as the Fox family of Hydesville (the knockings); William Moses; the Society for Psychical Research; Ghosts; India and a comprehensive view of the Religious Aspect and Criticisms.

    Telepathy Mental Telegraphic Communication: What it is, and How it is Done – Stocker – 1904

    Published 1904 by Fowler in London. Bound in original grey thick boards, 73 pages plus publishers catalogue. Illustrated with there unusual plates. Very good condition and a rare item.

    The author Dimsdale Stocker refers to Bennett of the Society for Psychical Research “The conclusion seems to be irresistible, that the five senses do not exhaust the means by which knowledge may enter the mind. In other words, the investigator seems to be driven to the conclusion that thought transference must now be included among scientifically proved facts”

  • Tasmanian Tiger – Extinct or Merely Elusive – Andy Park – Australian Geographic 1986

    Tasmanian Tiger – Extinct or Merely Elusive – Andy Park – Australian Geographic 1986

    Dick Smith’s Journal the “Australian Geographic” was something special in the early editions. Here in Vol 1 No 3 of 1986 we have one of the great sources of Thylacine information in an special 18 page segment written by Andy Park and illustrated (so well) by Rod Scott.

    Great images of “Benjamin” the last tiger in captivity, sad images of early reward posters, turn of the century “Tiger Hunters” and an assessment of the Nullarbor mummy ( surely mis-dated). The then “Tiger Searchers” including Dr Eric Guiler and of course Peter Wright with his expedition headquarters near Lake Adelaide. And the sightings, and not just in Tassie. A nice chronology ends the piece to bring historical perspective to the article. Dr Bob Brown given credit for his contribution and well deserved.

    Just a Journal but no better Tassie Tiger

  • Sebastian “Pfarrer” Kneipp – “My Water-Cure” – 1890

    Sebastian “Pfarrer” Kneipp – “My Water-Cure” – 1890

    Sebastian Kneipp, born 1821, a Bavarian priest and one of the key founders of the naturopathic movement in medicine here outlines his “Kneipp cure”, first published in 1886 which cited healing and therapeutic effects from application of hydrotherapy, with differing temperatures and pressures of water.

    Kneipp himself believed that hydrotherapy gleaned from a book he found was the catalyst for his recovery from a bout of tuberculosis earlier in his life.
