Description:
Boston: Arena Publishing, 1894. 1st edition. Ex-library from a Sunday School in NY state. A scarce Social Gospel novel about the meaning of Christianity. The issue is debated in the context of socialism by a Presbyterian clergyman and a retired schoolmaster in New England. The minister stakes his position with a sermon on "Socialism: Its Evils and its Cure." The schoolmaster takes the opposing view and declares, "'Socialist' is just another name for 'Christian.' Every man who loves justice, and hates tyranny, is a socialist, whether he knows it or not." (p. 247.) The minister undergoes a gradual conversion, unable to reconcile the teachings of Christ with the social inequities and problems of the day. He reconsiders his previous sermon and admits, "I made a mistake in confounding socialism with anarchy and lawlessness." (p. 255.) An interesting title from the progressive Arena press, whose mission was "Fiction of purpose, dealing with social, economic, and political problems." 8vo. Blue clothbound…

Description:
New-York: D. Appleton, 1831. 1st edition of the first book published by Appleton. [Welsh, 4865.] A selection of Bible verses for inspiration and reflection. 192 pp. 64mo miniature, 2¾ by 2¼ inches. Bound in smooth brown cloth. Good with moderate wear. Remnants of the paper spine label. Text pages with expected toning and foxing. Blank endpapers lacking but otherwise complete and securely bound. A sound example of this scarce miniature, a notable book in American publishing history. D. Appleton & Co., was founded by dry goods merchant Daniel Appleton (1785-1849) and continued as a prominent publisher for more than a century. As the first title issued from its press, this book was already sufficiently scarce by the late 19th century that Appleton did not own a copy and had to advertise nationally to find one. A copy turned up in Maryland, and its owner exchanged her little volume for the largest book then published by Appleton. In 1902, Publisher's Weekly said "not more than six" copies were known to…

Philadelphia: A. J. Rowland, 1897. 1st edition. Inscribed by Geil in 1899 "with Kindest regards of the author." VG with some fading and wear, but a sound copy overall. A narrative of his pilgrimage to the Greek isle of Patmos, an early Christian center where biblical historians believe John the Apostle was exiled, received his apocalyptic visions, and wrote the Book of Revelation.

Illustrated with a portrait, b&w photographic plates, a map, and small text illustrations. Geil (1865-1925) was born in Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Description:
London: Spring Books, (1970.) First published in 1963. Printed in East Germany. A study of "the excessive sexuality of the Middle Ages," an era marked by "unrestrained wildness and the practice of perversions unknown in earlier times." A frank work that argues the restrictive teachings of the Christian church led to a proliferation of illicit sex, orgies and other forbidden pleasures, and even witchcraft and the Black Mass. 320 pp., with select bibliography and index. 8vo clothbound hardcover in dust jacket. VG/VG. Some edge wear and rubbing to the jacket, but no tears or significant flaws. No price on the jacket, probably because this book was intended to be sold in various countries. "Printed in East Germany" ink stamps on the title page and the last page. Sound, tight binding. Jacket is protected by a clear archival cover.
