About This Item
London: Macmillan, 1937. Revised edition. Hardcover. Very Good/near fine. 8vo, 305pp., black cloth; short tear in head of spine and dust jacket, otherwise fine
[Wade 191]. A revised and amplified version of an important book which had not previously been available to the general public, setting forth the esoteric principles, doctrines, and experiences from which muchof Yeats's most notable work in poetry and prose derived its inspiration and significance. "Almost anyof its crammed pages would need a volume to elucidate its meanings. It is possible it may be discussed feverishly by commentators a century hence, as Blake's prophetic books --so ignored, so unintelligible a hundred years ago -- are discussed by many editors in our time --A. E."

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
