stiff wraps. 2nd Edition. Slim octavo, original printed stapled wraps, pp 8. Loosely inserted is a smaller, double-sided printed leaflet issued c. 1939 titled "Conscripts and Vaccination", stating that soldiers can refuse vaccination. Very clean, very near fine condition. Pamphlet issued in June 1936 setting out the history of vaccination, the effects of vaccination in England, and the perceived dangers of vaccination. The author, Maurice Beddow Bayly M.R.C.S, L.R.C.P. (1887 - 1961) was an English physician, anti-vivisection and anti-vaccination activist, and Theosophist. The publisher, National Anti-Vaccination League, was a British anti-vaccination organization that was formed in 1896 from earlier smaller organizations. Historically, the League had opposed compulsory vaccination, particularly against smallpox. It was part of a wider anti-vaccinationist movement, arguing that vaccination did more harm than good.

First Edition
Very interesting collection of esoteric health and science pamphlets, many of which deal with the Anti-Vivisectionist movement of the first half of the 20th century. The holistic view of health and belief in the spiritual evolution of all living things, which were core tenets of Theosophy, provided a natural link to the Anti-Vivisectionist movement, as well as that of women's suffrage. Several prominent Theosophists of the time took up both of these causes, including Anna Kingsford, Mabel Collins, Gertrude Baillie-Weaver, and others. The Theosophical Research Centre was founded in the 1920s as a reorganization of the Theosophical World University. Its members included doctors, psychiatrists, and scientists who carried out research on scientific, supernatural, religious, and philosophical subjects in relation to Theosophy, and published their findings. This collection includes: Proteus: A Journal of the Science, Philosophy and Therapy of Nature,Nos. 1-4, and 6, 1931-32 The Art of Breathingby F.E. Pearce, League of Healing, N.D. Health and Nervous Stabilityby William Watson, League of Healing, N.D. Slip signed by the author laid in. Unseen Aspects of the WarandSuper-Physical Scienceby A.P. Sinnett. Theosophical Pub.
