Hardcover. xii, 272p. Illustrations. Notes. In this biography of the 18th-century occultist, a scholar provides the historical facts as well as the controversy. Cagliostro was well-known across Europe, and knew the rich, famous, and powerful, such as Catherine the Great. He elicited strong reactions from others, including the Church, which had him imprisoned. Was he a total fake? Professor McAlman here explores Cagliostro's ideas of freemasonry and of healing, which seem to prefigure the New Age thought in modern times. Very good in very good dust jacket. Signed by author.

Hardcover. First Edition. Contemporary sheep leather (5-1/8" x 8-1/2"); [ii], 232, [2] pages. Complete with half-title and errata. INSCRIBED by the author on the front endpaper: "Presented to the Library of Harvard College by the Author." An answer to Thomas Paine by a distinguished New Jersey statesman who at the time was the second director of the U.S. Mint (1795-1805). Elias Boudinot, an American revolutionary statesman serving as commissary-general of prisoners and colonel in the continental army (he was with George Washington at Valley Forge), as well as president (1782-1783) and secretary for foreign affairs of the Continental Congress, signed the treaties of peace with Great Britain and of alliance with the French king. He also helped ratify the United States Constitution in New Jersey and conducted Washington into New York for the first inauguration. He was a member of the House of Representatives and the first counsellor named by the United States Supreme Court. Boudinot was also a trustee and benefactor of Princeton University and a founder and first president of the American Bible Society. This is one of his two best known books, the other being A STAR IN THE WEST, OR A HUMBLE ATTEMPT TO DISCOVER THE LONG LOST TEN TRIBES OF ISRAEL (1816), an attempt to prove that the American Indians may be the lost tribes. Books signed by him are quite scarce. A note in a 1924 description for the sale of this title by Anderson Galleries states: "Very rare. Not in Sabin and apparently no record of sale at Auction." Remnants of Boudinot's bookplate on the front pastedown with small paper label above it. Text quite clean, early 20th century ink inscription below Boudinot's inscription; rubbing to spine and joints, "Harvard College" in gilt at base of spine, covers tight. Very Good.

First edition of Bishop Watson's bitter attack against the second part of Paine's Age of Reason and deism. Watson's defense of the Bible was widely reprinted in America. Like Paine's work, it ran through many editions, well into the nineteenth-century. Seven editions alone were issued in 1796, the first year of its publication. This copy was kept by Nicholas Waln (1742-1818), a Philadelphia Quaker, a member of Benjamin Franklin's Junto, a Library Company director and a member of the American Philosophical Society. Waln signed his name on the title-page. Waln studied law under Joseph Galloway and at London's Inner Temple. Later in life, he experienced a religious conversion. Closing his lucrative law practice, Waln transitioned from being a worldly Quaker to a plain one and began preaching in America and Europe. Waln's involvement in an appeal to Congress seeking to abolish the slave trade earned the ire of then-President George Washington who considered it "very malapropos." (Whitfield J. Bell, Jr.).
