Vogt, Adolf Max.. ART OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.. Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London, (1973).,
189 pp, 8vo, hard cover in dust jacket. Profusely illustrated in color and b&w. "No century has searched so earnestly for its own style, with as little success as the nineteenth century. Artists and critics were so concerned with trying to emulat e the glories of the past that they overlooked the true expression of their age, the engineering feats of Paxton's Crystal Palace and Eiffel's Tower. Where an artist was designing an ornamental building he had the freedom to embellish it accordi n g to a past fashion; practical projects, however, presented scientific challenges to the designer and in overcoming them they achieved a new kind of harmony. Similarly the best painters of the time were found among doctors, engineers and invento rs , n ot among philosophers and courtiers. Their still-life, landscapes and homely subjects have been valued more highly by posterity than the lofty themes so admired by contemporaries. Professor Vogt describes the two scales of values in the lig ht of t he philosophy and events of the age which produced them..." Dust jacket has light edge wear, a few small closed tears, slight browning to flaps. NF/VG-.

,,Murder and suspicion of witchcraft in a small Texas town draw attorney-turned-herbalist China Bayles into her second case. Rumors of devil worship are rampant in Pecan Springs following the probable suicide of a teenager and the unexpected deaths of a transient and a nursing home resident. The turmoil increases when the Reverend Billy Lee Harbuck begins picketing the Crystal Cave, a New Age shop, claiming that the owner, China's friend Ruby Wilcox, and her customers are practicing witchcraft. Wealthy Sybil Rand, notorious for maintaining a garden of poisonous plants, is found murdered with Ruby's knife after a feminist Halloween party attended by assorted goddess worshippers. Ruby becomes the prime suspect. Other candidates for the murderer's role are Ruby's newest love interest, Andrew Drake, who has a mysterious past and may have been Sybil's lover, and, despite his excellent alibi, the widower, C. W. Rand, managing partner of a nearby resort and sometime ladies' man. As China and her lover, criminal justice professor and ex-cop Mike McQuaid, delve into the case, China must cope with her feelings for an alcoholic mother who is finally taking control of her own life. Albert's lively mystery captures the flavor of a modern small-town being reshaped by big-city refugees.
