Description:
The Foundation Governors of the School, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, 1963. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. A history of the foundation of King Edward VI in Bury St. Edmund's must take into account three items relating to the years before 1550 - the mediaeval school in SchoolhaIl Street, the dissolution of the Benedictine monastery, and the confiscation of chantry lands in the town and neighbourhood. A College of Secular Priests had existed in Bury from the time of Athelstan in the tenth century. It was to that college that the body of Edmund was brought in or about the year 903. It is usually considered certain that wherever there was such a college there was a school associated with it, not a school for supplying the needs of the Church alone, but a school which opened the doors of knowledge to its scholars by giving them an intimate knowledge of the language in which all man's knowledge was expressed in Western Europe, namely Latin. Such a school… Read More

Description:
Arkana/Penguin, Harmondsworth, Middlesex, 1989. First Paperback Edition. Paperback. Very Good Condition. Titles, contents & foreword to front. An unbiased and critical examination of Gurdjieff's teachings and ideas. The works of Gurdjieff are notorious for being difficult. He perceived people as semi-conscious automata, incapable of love, belief or hope, and claimed that the only way to self-improvement was through self-knowledge. In his writings he used both humour and vulgarity to stimulate mans awareness of his own unworthiness and these 'weapons' often detract from Gurdjieffs reputation as a serious philosopher. In this important book, the first to analyse Gurdjieffs teachings from an objective point of view, Michel Waldberg examines the message of Gurdjieffs work and the means that he used to transmit it. Placing him in the context of contemporary literature from France and Russia, and bringing in elements from Eastern traditions, Waldberg gives his own outline of Gurdjieffs… Read More

Description:
Jonathan Cape, London, 1973. Reprint. Softcover. Very Good Condition. In this work Mr Walker draws some convincing comparisons between Gurdjieff’s teaching and that of Vedanta and of the Buddha and also with such western mystics as Hoehme and such men of science as William James... Mr Walker, with the help of diagrams, elucidates these mysteries as best he can, while admitting that they can only be known by a consciousness capable of living them. He has certainly succeeded in making them more humanly intelligible and acceptable. He expounds in outline the ideas themselves. He does it very well, quietly and unassumingly, not setting out the “system" in abstract terms but realising how he gradually came to know it and how it influenced him. 3-page list of Cape paperbacks to rear. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 221 + 3 pages. No Dust Jacket as published. White titles spine. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under… Read More

She reached out to turn on the light and could have shrieked, for she touched a hand, a cold, small hand that was resting on the bedside table. For a second she was paralysed and then the hand was suddenly withdrawn. There was a rustle of curtain rings and the momentary glimpse of a figure against the lesser gloom of the night, and, shaking in every limb, she leapt from the bed and switched on the light. The room was empty, but the French window was ajar. And then she saw on the table by her side, a grey card. Picking it up with shaking hands she read:… Read More

Spur Publications Company, Liss, Hampshire, 1976. Second Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Good Condition/Good. This is a concise history of the Shire Horse. It traces the evolution of the Great Horse from the chariot horse of the ancient Britons, through the centuries, showing how the functional requirements fashioned the characteristics seen today. There are many interesting facts which emerge. As oxen were replaced by horses strong, heavy animals were required. Linked with this fact, was the introduction of laws which fostered the development of the breed. Besides giving service as War Horses they were also used for pulling carriages. This book was originally published as The Great Horse or Shire Horse in the heyday of the breed. Since then there has been a decline in the breed and, more recently, a renewed interest in reviving the Great Horse not only as an animal held with great affection, but also as a working horse. A brief note on the present state of the Shire Horse Society brings the… Read More

Magpie Press, London, 1969. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Very Good. Signed by Author. Philip Ward, born 1938 in Harrow, England, was founder and Publisher of the "Private Library". ‘A Lizard and Other DistractionsÂ’ possess the unexpected unity of a graph plotted on the haphazard path of a barometric needle. Philip Ward is already known as an inventive playwright (in A Musical Breakfast from the Brewhouse Press) and as a sensitive lyric poet (in Seldom Rains and At the Best of Times from the Oleander Press). Although some of these stories have appeared in Transatlantic Review, The Quest, Labris, Quixote and elsewhere, this is their first publication in book form. Philip Ward's persona glides like a lizard from that of a German doctor on Patmos to a Russian schoolboy's. The disruption of logic is demonstrated . with impeccable logic. A story is set in the period after history. There are autobiographical sketches of wit and… Read More

St. Martin's Press, New York, 1998. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. In this biography, Robin Waterfield traces the influential life of Kahlil Gibran from his first flush as the wounded Romantic to his final metamorphosis as the "Prophet of New York". Born in 1883, in northern Lebanon, Gibran emigrated to the United States in 1895. A gifted painter, he soon turned to writing. Although initially spurned, he ultimately gained approval and even adulation among the prominent avant-gardists of fin-de-siecle Boston and later in Greenwich Village. Though known outwardly for the peace and optimism that permeates his work, Gibran's life, according to Waterfield, was littered with personal tragedy and conflicted sexuality. For the road was by no means smooth, and he did not even live see the glorious success of The Prophet. A complete reassessment of all the remaining primary sources on Gibran, Prophet provides extraordinary insight into the character of a man… Read More
