A rare piece of occultist ephemera, printed in an edition of 777 copies to commemorate magic for the coming year of 1896.

A History of the Sepoy War in India. 1857-1858 London: Longmans, Green and Co., 1896. London: Longmans, Green and Co.,, 1896. [Together with;] History of the Indian Mutiny, 1857-1858. Commencing from the Close of the Second Volume of Sir John Kaye's History of the Sepoy War. [&] Analytical Index … 7 volumes octavo bound in 6 (218 × 142 mm) . Later plum half morocco, red linen boards, for Hatchards, title gilt direct to the spine, simple double fillet panels to the compartments, double gilt rules to the spine and corner edges, top edges gilt, marbled endpapers. Maps and tables as called for. Some minor shelf-wear, light restoration on the joints to a couple of volumes, pale toning, overall a very good set, handsomely presented. Mixed editions as usual, Kaye first published 1864-76, Malleson 1878-80, and Pincott in 1880. The standard "empire" history. " … massive, verbose, all-embracing histories: authoritative and dogmatic: entirely noble in sentiment, entirely British in attitude and viewpoint" (Taylor). Sorsky draws attention to Chauduri's comments on Malleson's scholarship noting that he does, however, "state that his work is the most exciting in Mutiny literature." A really handsome set, with the armorial bookplates of Richard Leslie Agnew to the front pastedowns. Educated Rugby and Sandhurst, Agnew gained the rank of 2nd lieutenant in 1918 in the service of the 15th Hussars; made major in 1940 in 15th/19th Hussars, and lieutenant-colonel in 1941 in the 146th Regiment, (Royal Armoured Corps), Duke of Wellington's Regiment. Saw action in the Arakan Campaign between 1943 and 1945, mentioned in despatches. Pencilled annotation recording the receipt of the set on his twenty-first birthday from Sir George Agnew. An excellent set. [Bookseller: Peter Harrington]

Poems Chosen out of the Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge , 1896. 1896. Coleridge's Poems[KELMSCOTT PRESS]. COLERIDGE, Samuel Taylor. Poems Chosen out of the Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. [Hammersmith: Sold by William Morris at the Kelmscott Press, 1896].One of 300 paper copies, out of a total edition of 308 copies. Octavo. ii, 100 pp. Printed in red and black in Golden type. Decorative borders and initials. Edited by F.S. Ellis.Original full limp vellum with blue silk ties. Spine lettered in gilt. A fine copy. Housed in a gray cloth slipcase."As to the Coleridge-Keats question, you don't quite understand the position I think. Keats was a great poet who sometimes nodded: we don't want to make a selection of his works. Coleridge was a muddle-brained metaphysician, who by some strange freak of fortune turned out a few real poems amongst the dreary flood of inanity which was his wont. It is these real poems only that must be selected, or we burden the world with another useless book. Christabel only just comes in because the detail is fine; but nothing a hair's breadth worse must be admitted. There is absolutely no difficulty in choosing, because the difference between his poetry and his drivel is so striking" (William Morris to F.S. Ellis - undated letter).Clark Library, Kelmscott and Doves, p. 44-45. Peterson A38. Ransom, Private Presses, p. 329, no. 38. Sparling 38. Tomkinson, p. 117, no. 38.

Lettre autographe: deux pages et demie sur un feuillet double (129 X 140). EDITION ORIGINALE. Un des 12 EXEMPLAIRES imprimés sur HOLLANDE, seul tirage de tête. Inspiré par l'occultisme et le romantisme allemands, ce recueil de poèmes d'inspiration symboliste, aux accents décadents, annonce la poésie mallarméenne. Exemplaire enrichi d'une BELLE LETTRE AUTOGRAPHE signée par Rodenbach adressée au poète, romancier et journaliste Jules BOIS (1868-1943). Ce dernier vient de publier "La Porte héroïque du ciel" (1894), dont Rodenbach fait l'éloge avec un certain lyrisme: «Maintenant que j'ai pu refaire du silence autour de moi et me reculer hors de la vie, avec quelle émotion d'art j'ai lu votre beau poème nouveau, La Porte héroïque du ciel, d'une conception si noble et si personnelle qui eût été digne de Vigny. [.] Comme votre poète a de hautes paroles devant la tentation, les amants, les courtisanes, l'exaltation solitaire de l'orgueil d'Apollonius de Tyane. On pourrait dire de Corneille qu'il fut l'avocat de l'héroïsme. Votre poète en est le prêtre. Le débat avec Jésus sur le mal est de la plus sévère beauté; et votre conclusion: La Peur c'est l'Enfer, clôt magnifiquement ces crises d'âme et de pensée. Dans l'exécution, que de trouvailles, de vers envolés et tout d'une pièce vibrant dans le blanc de la page, comme certains volatiles qui se mettent à nager en naissant. [Etc.]». Auteur d'ouvrages sur l'ésotérisme, personnalité sulfureuse proche de Joris-Karl Huysmans et ami notoire de l'abbé Boullan qui fut condamné pour escroquerie et satanisme, Jules Bois est aussi l'auteur d'un ouvrage intitulé "Le Satanisme et la magie" (1895), qui contient une étude de Huysmans.

First edition and quite scarce. It's a bit off the point but this extract from a letter on teaching by Professor W. Edwards Deming of New York University caught my attention: 'No luster of personality can atone for teaching error instead of truth. One of the finest teachers that I ever knew could hold 300 students spellbound, teaching what is wrong. The two poorest teachers that I ever had . were Professor Ernest Brown in mathematics at Yale and Sir Ronald Fisher at University College in London.
