About This Item
Coulson Turnbull, 1898. 1st Edition. Hardcover. GOOD. FIRST EDITION. VERY SCARCE. SELF-PUBLISHED. Previous owner's label affixed to lower FPDEP. Sunning to spine. Spinecaps mildly worn and frayed. Board edges and corners lightly rubbed white. Corners bumped. A few pages with minor foxing. Several pages throughout text appear to have tiny ink-transfer marks, perhaps when newly printed.

Lovely sage green flowered endpapers. 254 pp. Clean, tight. Turnbull's dedication. "Dedicated in humility. To those who have watched terrestrial transformations and eruptions, have asked for answer Why, and have received None. To those who, tired and home-weary, in a long and slow Journey, have yearned and sought for Justice and found her not. To those who have suffered as humans suffer, waiting in Faith for liberation. To those hearts who in Faith and Patience have mystic-wise found a golden thread so delicate, so strong, delicate as human frailty, yet strong to draw the tossed and home-weary from out the ocean's tempest to the Light, Divine in its cheer. To men and women Regenerate, to the Illumined Ones."
