8vo. xi, [1], 254 pp. Frontis. portrait, index. Red gilt-stamped cloth; small nick at head of spine. Very good. Rare. LENGTHY INSCRIPTION BY THE AUTHOR; VERY RARE. Inscribed by W. G. Bailey, M.D., "Oct. 7th, 1929. To My Friend, Dr. William Cashman, With the hope that he will to the extent of reading this book â" interest himself in what an impartial investigator, Hereward Carrington, called, 'The coming science, knowledge & of life after death.'" "Bailey graduated from Paulsboro High School and Pierce Business College, then went on to Jefferson Medical College, from which he received his doctorate in 1891. He interned at Cooper Hospital and remained in Camden, practicing general surgery into the 1930s." [Bailey's nephew had the same name, but was born in 1893]. Hereward Carrington (1880-1958) was a well-known British-born American investigator of psychic phenomena and author. A wonderfully odd book!
