8vo. viii, 144, (4) pp. Publisher’s half vellum. Top edge gilt, rest uncut. Inscription from the author to his niece (”from Uncle Sam”). Notes a few places in the margins and on back free endpaper. Spine a little discoloured, thin crack in inner joint. Good.
Kommentar: First edition. Waddington’s essay about the possibility of life after death is, according to the author, tabooed in “polite circles of society”. “People of a refined and educated order do not like even to mention what they think may cause discord, pain, or annoyance, amongst their hearers.”
