Description

A compact, beautifully bound volume from 1887 offers a glimpse into the eclectic world of late‑Victorian curiosity. Compiled by a London bookseller, it gathers together a selection of works that bridge mysticism, emerging science, and personal narrative, each presented with careful description and modest price tags that reflect the era’s publishing style.

Among the highlighted titles is a scholarly translation of the Zohar, “The Kabbala Unveiled,” which brings together the secretive teachings of Jewish mysticism alongside commentary from noted scholars. Another entry, “Posthumous Humanity: A Study of Phantoms,” delves into contemporary investigations of spirits, animal apparitions, and the supposed after‑life of the mind, complete with an appendix on Indian beliefs. The catalogue also includes a biographical sketch of Madame Blavatsky, offering readers insight into the life and influence of the prominent Theosophist through recollections from friends and relatives.

Together, these selections provide a fascinating snapshot of the period’s intellectual cross‑currents, inviting listeners to explore the interplay of occult thought, early scientific inquiry, and personal memoir.
