Secret Societies and Subversive Movements.
London: Boswell Printing & Publishing Co. Ltd, 1936. Fifth Edition. Hardcover. Octavo. xiv + 420pp. Original red cloth with gilt title, etc. to spine, b&w frontis of Adam Weishaupt, appendix and index. A nice early edition of this work which was first published in 1924. It is quite a broad reaching study, though the author's predilection for conspiracy theories and anti-semitism has meant that the book is now largely ignored other than by those of extreme political persuasions. This is unfortunate as if one can set aside the more rabid maunderings, there is some quite useful information on occult movements in its pages. Light overall rubbing to cloth and edges, spine cloth a bit darkened and rippled, corners lightly bumped, page edges darkened, some light foxing to endpapers, text pages unmarked and in some cases "un-opened" or uncut. Overall a tight, clean VG+ copy (no dust jacket). Item #63496
