Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. Vol. 1, Nos. 1-3 (three issues). Published and edited by Richard Branson. Quartos. Each 54pp. Heavily illustrated. Light wear on the wrappers, with some foxing on the front cover of the first issue, very good or better overall. The first three issues of *Student*, a publication started by a 16 year old Richard Branson, which aimed to provide students with a more well-rounded view of their world and of their future. "The fierce debates on education, surely involving the student more than anyone, are almost never thrown open to him. We plan to be a vehicle for intelligent comment and protest" (from Number 1). The publication, despite being started by such a young man, features some of the most prominent artists and thinkers of the era, delivering hard-hitting, controversial content in a mature, well styled manner. Notable articles and features include an interview between a young Richard Branson and American writer James Baldwin, discussing racism in America, "Ain't White People Just Naturally Smarter, Prettier, Better?" by Alice Walker, and a short story titled *Passage for Translation* by John le Carre. For a deeper break down of the contents, see below. The inaugural issue includes a short story titled *Passage for Translation*, by author John le Carre, an article about the state of British art, with excerpts by Gerald Scarfe, Kenneth Armitage, Henry Moore, David Hockney, Michael Ayrton, and Peter Blake; an article promoting teenage use of contraceptives, followed by one encouraging chastity outside of marriage; a centerfold black and white re-creation of *PROVOS* by Ralph Steadman; an article titled "White Slavery Today", by Colonel Patrick Montgomery of the Anti-Slavery Society, about the state of human trafficking; and more. Number 2 includes an article about suicide and mental health by Alan Munton; an article by journalist James Cameron, with sections covering Vietnam, America, China, Britain, India, and a short advice column written to protest-happy students; articles titled "Pro-America" and "Anti-America", the latter written by Bertrand Russell; Other topics include marriage, contraception, abortion, poetry, fashion, and more. Number 3 includes the "never printed in full before", now infamous "Rivers of Blood" speech by Enoch Powell, regarding race and immigration in England, the article accompanied by a Ralph Steadman illustration titled "Transition"; an interview between a young Richard Branson and American writer James Baldwin, discussing racism in America; an article titled "Ain't White People Just Naturally Smarter, Prettier, Better?" by Alice Walker, who later became the first African-American woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction; an article by Jean-Paul Sartre recounting his time spent with Fidel Castro; "Paris In The Spring", by Stephen Spender, about the civil unrest of 1968; other topics include Vietnam, fashion, education, and more. Issues appear to be extremely uncommon, with *OCLC* locating 11 serial entries (likely all incomplete), with only four U.S. holdings (Harvard, Yale, Emory, Michigan State).…

[London : Dalla Stamperia di Gul. Bulmer, 1801]. Thick 4to, [2], [1], 1-721 pp. Printed in English and Italian. Contemporary red straight-grained goatskin, flat spine banded with double gilt rules, single gilt rule to the margins of the boards, all edges gilt, some foxing to the preliminaries, binding repaired and refurbished, still showing some scratches and stains, but still an attractive copy. § Only edition, of absolute rarity (three copies recorded, none at auction,one in the marketplace bought by Yale). Maggs wrote of this copy: "Written by an associate of William Blake, this is a profoundly eccentric production, full of the revolutionary spirit of the times, combining mysticism, philosophy, electricity and magnetism. One of an unknown number of copies privately printed for the author, without a title page, by George Bulmer, all of them intended for presentation to the author's friends, this copy bearing the 19th Century ownership inscription 'Girdlestone', for whose identity there are several candidates, none completely convincing. It is in two parts, the first "An Investigation into Principles", written in English, is a series of reflections on the nature of elements, gravitation ("the pressure of the general ethereal fluid against our orb"), time ("Look for time in the vast expanse, Eternity will start to view, and time revolve no more") tides, earthquakes and the lack of salt in rain (when raised into the sky by waterspouts, it is sweetened by the action of electricity). His logic is baffling at times, demonstrating the wisdom of a forward five year old or of an experienced haschischan : for instance he observes that gravity isn't all that Newton cracked it up to be, since water "from a known principle in hydraulics" rises to the top of mountains, which truth he derives from the fact that rivers never run dry. "On the Barleycorn", is a dialogue between Mata and Ata based on a conversation [with George Finch, Earl of Winchilsea], concerning wisdom, folly, genius, reason, the individuality and the faculty of the soul. The second part is titled "On the Soul. On Magnetism. Magnetic Productions." and comprises the transcripts of Avena's automatic writings (see below), in Italian, many with English introductions, and some untranscribed writings dismissed as "too confused to merit attention". There are a total 51 sessions in the first year, dated to "Alessandria 1796", 52 in the second year, and 27 in the third and last year. The last two years have almost no English narrative. In researching this book, we [Maggs] rely heavily on the intoxicating and brilliant essay by Marsha Schuchard "Blake's Healing Trio: Magnetism, Medicine, and Mania" published in Blake, an Illustrated Quarterly, Vol 23, Issue 1 which explores Blake's relationship with the "eclectic network of illuminés, which included Swedenborgians, Freemasons, and Cabalists who shared his interest in animal magnetism spirit-communication, and erotic trances". George Baldwin was one of these, and is included, as "Baldwin of Egypt's Lake" in a vicious later (1808 - 1811) poem attacking their lack of commitment to his studies. Baldwin, born in 1744, was an author and diplomat who became very wealthy in the later years of the 18th century, establishing trade links for the East India Company with Egypt, owning a monopoly of the British trade route through Suez, demonstrating remarkable prescience about the importance to British trade of this route to the east. He was British Consul-General in Egypt from 1786 to 1796, in which position he warned the British Government of French plans to take over Egypt, a warning which was largely ignored. When the French invaded Egypt in 1798 he left the country for Italy, leaving behind substantial property in Alexandria, which was seized by the French. He was of considerable help in the planning of the British counter invasion, returning to Egypt in 1801 with the British forces, and claimed the credit for the decision to breach the canal in Alexandria and flood Lake Mareotis to hinder French navigation, which played a significant role in the recapture of Egypt - this is what Blake refers to when he mentions "Baldwin of Egypt's Lake." It is attractive to think of a time in which a man could be a senior servant of the state as well as indulging in such arcane personal tastes. Baldwin's wife, Jane Malpass, a famous Greek beauty, sat for her portrait to Sir Joshua Reynolds and to Richard Cosway, who introduced Baldwin to English devotees who believed in healing by magnetism, which, although he was a popular figure in English society, made him the subject of some ridicule. Some Blake scholars believe that Jane Malpass is one of the figures in Blake's 'Vala' manuscript. Baldwin had come across what he claimed were many cures in Egypt using magnetism, and experimented on himself with, he said, considerable success. His Magus, so to speak, was an itinerant poet, one Cesare Avena di Valdieri, who passed on his gifts to Baldwin during magnetic sleep. The 'Principles' begins in English with a history of the development of Animal Magnetism, then turns to Italian and intertwines the further exploration of the theme with the story of Baldwin's 'contact' with the spirit of his lost first love through the mediumship of Valdieri in a magnetised trance. Both Blake and Baldwin believed that the same Muse that dictated spirit writings to them also inspired Milton in the writing of 'Paradise Lost'. Baldwin was in London from 1781-6 where he must have first encountered the English school of Animal Magnetism, a fashionable science begun largely by Franz Anton Mesmer who was for a while very successful as a practitioner in London society. It is highly likely that Baldwin made the acquaintance of Blake during these years. Mesmer was soon eclipsed by his disciple Dr. John Bonniot de Mainaduc, who became a very rich man treating the great and the good of British society, from Royalty downwards. Mainaduc published in 1798 a. …
