Hardcover (in Slipcase). Condition: Fine. Grant Wood (Frontis) (illustrator). Limited Edition. Signed by Author. A beautiful set of the Limited Edition in the original slipcover. Signed by Roberts on the limitation page at the front of Volume 1 and numbered #477 of 1,000 (plus 50 unnumbered copies). This novel was revolutionary for its time because Roberts presents a favorable treatment of the Tory position during the American Revolution -- an approach that resulted in critical reviews and angry letters (see Bales, 1993, p. 77). While the novel covers the whole war, it highlights the often overlooked movement of the theater to the southern states following the British defeat at Saratoga. As a result, it both continues the story from Arundel and Rabble and Arms and provides an alternative perspective from the Patriots side in the earlier novels. What all three share in common is what Bales describes as "a Roberts narrator [who] sees that his duty is to tell the truth about war and the politicians who furthered it" (p. 76).

First edition, limited issue, number 39 of 97 copies signed by Kenneth and Steffi Grant and bound in quarter cloth and handmade paper. The volume presents Kennet Grant's previously published articles on sages, mysticism, and the Hindu concept of advaita, a concept at the heart of the writings of his mentor, Aleister Crowley. Grant (1924-2011) and Crowley first met in autumn 1944. Following Crowley's death, Grant took over the Ordo Templi Orientis and a drove a revival of interest in Crowley's ideas in the late 20th century. He also championed the art of Austin Osman Spare and worked with the ceremonial magician Gerald Gardner. "It is hard to name any other individual who has done more to shape contemporary western thinking with regard to Magic" (Moore, p. 162). The edition numbered 1,000 copies only. Alan Moore, "Beyond our Ken", in Joel Biroco, ed., KAOS 14, 2002. Octavo. With 14 half-tone plates. Original black straight-grain quarter cloth, spine lettered in gilt, Himalayan handmade yellow paper sides, black endpapers. With dust jacket designed by Steffi Grant. Jacket flaps without price as issued, crease to rear flap: a fine copy in near-fine jacket.

A pamphlet with the text of the Liber OZ, presumably intended to be posted to new adepts, this example with a manuscript note on the front in the hand of Crowley's secretary Kenneth Grant: "For Rodney, Full Moon, [moon crescent] in [Capricorn]. 14 July '46 E.V. Wishing all success in the Guest of Self. Aossic Magister IX° IBA". It has been sealed with the manuscript Aossic Magister sigil in the same hand. The Liber OZ was written to convey as simply as possible the Ordo Templi Orientis and consists of five succinct paragraphs clearly declaring the rights of man within Crowley's occult philosophy, the majority of the words deliberately monosyllabic. It was "first composed by Crowley during World War One to serve as part of an OTO ritual" (Sutin, p. 392). Crowley planned in late 1941 to publish it "in the form of postcards and broadsides" (ibid., p. 392). Three variants of the resulting pamphlet are known, differing in the portraits of Crowley included within. Only four copies have been traced institutionally worldwide, with one copy at the University of Buffalo, and three copies at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, who hold a copy of each variant. The portrait in this copy shows Crowley costumed as an "Eastern Mage" with a pipe and turban and comes from a shoot taken circa 1936 intended to attract students (Sutin, p. 280). Kenneth Grant (1924-2011) and Crowley first met in autumn 1944 following months of Grant's attempts to make contact. Grant swiftly became Crowley's secretary and personal assistant, a high initiate of the Ordo Templi Orientis, taking on the motto of Aossic, and in March 1945 moved into a cottage in the grounds of the boarding house where Crowley lived. Grant took over the OTO in Britain at Crowley's death in December 1947; at the time of the inscription in July 1946 Grant was already handling the day to running of the order, as well as handling "procurement of drugs and whiskey and management of the Beast's mundane affairs", and Crowley's day to day correspondence with disciples looking for advice on their ritual practice (Sutin, p. 406). The recipient of this copy, "Rodney", is the presumed artist behind the esoteric art it is accompanied by. The images incorporate classic occult, astrological, and alchemical symbolism, such as incorporating motifs traditionally used to represent Capricorn, the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet , and a horned creature with the mutable alchemical symbol on its forehead, its design similar to the artist's signature glyph, seemingly based on John Dee's own. Alongside biographer John Symonds, whom Crowley befriended in 1946, Grant was responsible for much of the revived interest in Crowley in the latter half of the 20th century. Grant published prolifically, providing both explanations of and expansions to Crowley's own writings, and shaped the OTO in his own ideal. He was key in promoting the occult more broadly, championing the art of Austin Osman Spare and working with ceremonial magician Gerald Gardner. Occultist and author Alan Moore claimed that it is "hard to name any other individual who has done more to shape contemporary western thinking with regard to Magic" than Grant (Moore, p. 162).
