London: J. Hatchard and Son, 1830. First Edition. . Hardcover. See Description. First Edition. 8vo. pp. xvi, 430, [2]. Bound in original quarter gray cloth and paper boards. Re-backed preserving the original spine. Paper boards are rubbed, discolored and aged. Board corners are carefully repaired/strengthened. Interior contains scattered foxing and splotching; some leaves possess a rough or chipped marginal edge (due to careless opening); outer marginal tearing is neatly and professionally sealed on several leaves; pages 1 and 413 display a light corner crease or stress mark. Crabtree states that this is "A little known work of real significance for the history of both animal magnetism and of physical research. Newnham wrote the book under the patronage of the Bishop of Winchester and it was clearly an attempt to use physiological and psychological terms to explain supernatural or supernormal phenomena which embarrass the Church

With frontispiece engraving and 4 full page wood cuts. Bound in modern stiff paper wraps. Text block is untrimmed. Interior pages contain occasional mild spotting, soiling and wear. Half-title is age-toned. A long strip is excised / torn-out of the outer margin on p. 221, running right up to the edge of the text, and obscuring a few letters; a piece is also torn from the bottom corner of p. 227 obstructing the last words in a couple of text lines. Some very miniscule holes on pp. 245/246 partially obstruct a couple of letters. There are several versions of "Les admirables secrets" with the date 1791, each with differences and with a different pagination (see WorldCat). The copy here offered is not the edition listed in Caillet and Dorbon-Ainé with the false 1791 date (attributed to…

Hulme, Keri: The Bone People. Louisiana State University Press, A tale of New Zealand. Stated United States First Edition, 1985. 450 pages, indexed. WINNER OF THE PEGASUS PRIZE FOR LITERATURE AND THE BOOKER PRIZE. Used. Very Good/Very Good unclipped original $17.95 dust jacket. Summary: "The Bone People, first published in 1984 by Spiral, New Zealand. About this book: The Bone People is an unusual story of love. It is unusual in the telling, the subject matter, and the form of love that the story depicts. This is in no way a romance; it is filled with violence, fear, and twisted emotions. At the story's core, however, are three people who struggle very hard to figure out what love is and how to find it. Hulme won New Zealand's Pegasus Prize for Literature (1984) for The Bone People. Then the book went on to win the prestigious Booker Prize (1985).
