The scarce 1st appearance of Emerson's essay on Demonology. As published in The North American Review for March-April, 1877. No. 255. Boston: James R. Osgood and Co. Emerson defined his subject as covering "dreams, omens, coincidences, luck, sortilege, magic, and other experiences." He also touches on superstitions, omens, ghosts, animal magnetism, mesmerism, spirits, and table-rapping. (Emerson had lectured on the subject in the late 1830s, and this 12-page essay appeared at a time of wide public interest in Spiritualism and the spirit world.) Complete issue in the original paper wraps with untrimmed page edges. 8vo. 9 x 6 inches. Journal pagination: iv, [163]–340 pp., + 4 pp., of ads. Demonology is on pages 179-190. Other articles as shown. Fold-out, frontispiece map to accompany "English Arctic Expedition." Light wear and signs of age, but VG or better overall. Clean and securely bound. An uncommon 1st printing by Emerson (1802-1882), the leading voice of the transcendentalist movement in America.

binding is very clean- just a touch of edgewear/shelfwear. They used a two tone quarter green cloth over gray cloth and the green portion still is glossy. Internals very clean ( not even any pricing marks in pencil) though there is a paper clip indentation at the lower edge affecting the title, onwards for 20 pages. Unclipped wrapper has only some rubbing but I detect no tears, creases or chips. The paper is wonderful; it strikes me as feeling and looking like "linen" (not your business/office grade) but I am by no means an expert on paper. This US Stackpole Edition omits 8 plates which are in the UK Allen & Unwin volume. Well-preserved, excellent copy.

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).
