About This Item
Innes & Sons, 1901. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. First edition of 500 signed copies, but this with an additional full page inscription by Bucke, signed: "Asylum, London, Ontario, 4 September 1901." Bucke died five months later, so inscribed copies are scarce and this is the only one I have seen inscribed to someone involved in the book production and at the London asylun. Book is tight and free of all markings, paper label on the spine chipped but perfectly readable. This is one of the truly foundational books for American mysticism and free thought.
