- Richard Maurice Bucke, A Sketch, James H. Coyne.
James H. Coyne (1849-1942) was the first to write a biography of Richard
Maurice Bucke after his death in 1902. His Sketch uses Bucke's letters
and autobiographical writings extensively. Most later biographies use
Coyne's work as their primary source. This newly revised edition will
incorporate all modifications and additions from earlier publications, and
include several letters to J.H. Coyne regarding the biography. It will also
contain an autobiographical article by R.M. Bucke (an account of his
experiences in crossing the Sierra Nevada in November and December, 1857).
- Monachologia. John Physiophilus's Specimen of the Natural History of the various Orders of Monks
after the manner of the Linnaean System, Ignaz von Born.
This book was published anonymously in 1783, but generally ascribed to
Ignaz von Born (1742-1791). The anticlerical parody classifies monks
according to the (then new) Linnaean system. Von Born, for 16 months a
Jesuit himself, was a famous scientist (mineralogist and palaeontologist)
and Freemason. He was master of the Masonic lodge "Zur wahren
Eintracht" (of which W.A. Mozart also was a member).
