Post, Isaac:

Verlag: Rochester, N.Y.: Charles H. McDonell, Printer, 1852.

256pp. Original printed wrappers. Some wear to wrappers. Occasional trace of foxing, late minor dampstain. Still, about fine. A superior copy of a scarce work. Converted to spiritualism in 1848 by teenaged Kate and Margaret Fox, the author and his wife were early believers and did a good deal to further the movement. Spirits contacted here include Swedenborg, Calhoun, Washington, Penn, Voltaire, and Jefferson, with an introduction by Franklin. Post was a noted abolitionist, and his wife was a supporter of women's rights; their circle of friends included William Lloyd Garrison, Susan B. Anthony, and Frederick Douglass. "[Post] had a mind quick and vigorous in the perception and acceptance of new ideas and ready to acknowledge them regardless of consequences" - DAB. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 10989
