1922 Occultism
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Signed, With Dustwrapper
The first edition.
Signed by the author to the recto of the front endpaper, "Sir Arthur Keith, FRS, with the lecturer's sincere regard".
In the original unclipped dust wrapper.
Two lectures on occultism delivered by the author at the Royal Institution on the 17th and 24th May 1921.
These lectures explore the subject of occultism from the point of view of a self-proclaimed rationalist. The author looks at the boom in popularity in the occult at this time, with phenomena such as seances and phrenology becoming increasingly popular.
By Edward Clodd, a banker, writer, and anthropologist.
Arthur Keith was an anatomist and anthropologist, and a proponent of scientific racism.
