Aleister Crowley Book of the Law Neptune Press limited edition 2004 rare
THE BOOK OF THE LAW. LIBER AL VEL LEGIS. Green hardcover with gilt title on cover and spine. This is the 100th Anniversary Edition. IT IS # 87 OF 500 COPIES. It comprises a sixteen page Introduction by Hymenaeus Beta compiled from various of Crowley’s lesser-known writings on the subject, the illustrated section: 26 leaves, printed on one side only, with the text of the Book of the Law set in a black type, within a border, around which are the intricate color illustrations by Susan Jameson. The artist/designer of the Via Tarot, Jameson is a professional artist, well known in British Thelemic circles, and partner to John Bonner the then Head of O. In the United Kingdom. The illustrated section is followed by a reproduction of the original holograph manuscript of The Book of the Law, printed in red. Very good copy of this rare and rather beautiful Crowley title. Published by Neptune Press 2004. This single-volume edition unites two centerpieces of twentieth-century occult thinking by the wickedest man in the world. His long and noteworthy career encompassed countless writings and the creation of his own religion, Thelema, the chief precept of which was Do what thou wilt. Crowley asserted that the content of The Book of the Law was dictated to him from the spirit world, and the 1909 publication formed the basis for Thelema. The volume’s 1912 successor, The Book of Lies, features aphorisms and paradoxes that invoke the symbolism of Freemasonry and other traditions. The Book of the Law and The Book of Lies continue to rank among Crowley’s most widely read writings. Both books have exercised a vast influence on popular culture and the practice of magic, offering fascinating glimpses into the author’s mystic pursuits. For the first time the Book of the Law is offered in a deluxe, hardcover edition fittingly issued in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Liber AL vel Legis’s transmission to Crowley.

The Case Books of John Hunter FRS Half-leather limited edition Signed Hardback. Half bound in embossed calfskin. Number 198 of a limited edition of 200, signed by Norman Browne, then President of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. Page edges all gilded. At the age of 20, John Hunter was invited by his elder brother William, a physician and obstetrician, to assist him at his anatomy school in London, where he spent much time working on his own anatomical investigations. During this period he also studied surgery at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, and later at St Bartholomew’s. In 1760 he was commissioned as an Army Surgeon, and was posted to France and Portugal where he undertook a geological study from which he deduced that the world was “many hundred thousand centuries” old, thus contradicting the accepted estimate of not more than 6000 years. He also anticipated some of Darwin’s ideas on evolution. In 1763 he gained the Diplomas of the Company of Surgeons and joined the staff at St George’s Hospital. Although continuing his biological studies, his private practice grew steadily and he started teaching. Although a surgeon, Hunter regarded surgery as a mutilation of the patient and an admission of failure to cure. He told his students, Surgeons tend to forget that they are not masters but only servants. They can assist the natural powers within all living flesh but cannot replace them. Hunter’s practice was quite wide – many patients were inoperable and therefore received only medical attention rather than surgical. The case notes – some 847 separate records – give an insight into the health of Londoners of the period. Although a few of the more well-known patients and spectacular cases have been referred to in medical articles, the full records have never before been published. Hunter’s original case notes were transcribed by his brother William (with his own notes) into five separate volumes in 1826. In this book, they are bound in a single volume, transcribed – along with Clift’s commentary – by the curator of the Hunterian Museum, Elizabeth Allen, at The Royal College of Surgeons of England. Hunter, John; Allen, Elizabeth (editor); Turk, J. (editor); Murley, Sir Reginald (editor). Royal Society of Medicine Press. The Case Books of John Hunter FRS.
