12mo in sixes, engraved title and pp. iv, [396]; pagination including three leaves of advertisements at end; with ten sepia plates (of, perhaps, 22 required); contemporary calf, gilt spine (spine and upper joint slightly defective; corners bumped). Second edition: first published in 1802. This anonymous dictionary of playwrights, actors and other performers does not concern itself with long-dead people (such as Shakespeare or Dryden) but concentrates only on the 18th century and current figures. However, it does have some rather peculiar priorities: there are a dozen double-column pages on Thomas Sheridan (1719-88), but barely more than one page on his famous son, and just one column on Sarah Siddons, despite including a portrait of this famous actress. The title page calls for 'twenty-two elegant engravings', but this copy only has ten apart from the engraved title page: the entry in A&R seems to imply that there should be twenty only, so this copy must lack some, but perhaps not as many as it would at first appear.

an Amateur Company will perform the well-known 3-act musical melodrama the Colleen Bawn, or the Brides of Garryowen . . Perth, W.A. : Stirling Bros., Printers, 1879. Quarto bifolium, [4] pp., printed entirely in gold ink; short closed tear at upper margin of second leaf, last side lightly marked, otherwise extremely well preserved; accompanied by two related clippings from Perth newspapers of the period containing reviews of other productions of the Thespian Dramatic Company. Very rare programme for the very first performances at St. George's Hall, the city of Perth's first purpose-built theatre, on 4 and 8 December 1879. Dion Boucicault's popular play, The Colleen Bawn, was performed on both nights by members of the newly formed amateur troupe, the Thespian Dramatic Company, whose members are billed as Mr H. C. Prinsep (scenery designer and narrator); Mr Mayhew; Mr. Turner; Mr. F. M. Stone; Mr. T. Hills; Mr. A. J. Hillman; Mr. W. Gegg; Mr. C. Woodhouse; Mrs Broadhurst; Mrs Price; Mrs Wilkinson; and Mrs Machree. A lengthy review of the first evening (Thursday, 4 December) appeared in the The Inquirer and Commercial News (Perth), 10 December 1879, in which the writer noted that 'the spacious room [was] crowded by one of the most fashionable audiences I have seen in the colony. It was proper, of course, that there should be a Prologue, and Mr. H. C. Prinsep gave one - brief and to the point.' A highly significant piece of Western Australian theatre ephemera, dating from a period before there was any homegrown professional theatre in Western Australia. (The first purpose-built professional theatre in Perth, the Theatre Royal, did not open until 1897). Provenance: UK trade, ex UK private collection.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Mysteries of Clear Light, 'The Emerging Identity' is the second trilogy in an open-ended series.Consider this: what if everything you have ever been told about Spirit were incorrect; that in fact there is no attainment to reach for, no enlightenment to strive towards What if, in your pursuit of Spiritual Truths, in your zest to embody some mystical ideals, you have lost the very path humanity was meant to follow At the heart of timelessness lies the wellspring from which true individuality derives. You are eternally in process of 'becoming', you are forever 'under construction'; there are no established standards on which to base your earthly life.Each of you is a Cosmos in miniature whose course cannot be determined by human standards. The very fact of seeking is an acknowledgment of lack, whereas just being as you are is a celebration of existence itself. We the authors are not anything you cannot be. Neither prophets nor gurus, we simply relate the story we came to tell. Clearly written, never didactic, at times irreverent and funny, eternal yet new, the knowledge we share reflects the timeless love of the Entities who bring you this wisdom and gently remind you, the reader, of your true identity.We do not teach, for in truth there is nothing to learn. The realizations and conclusions you reach are your own; we merely present you with a different viewpoint and show you alternatives. Your immortal spirit will help you make your optimal choices and direct you toward the purpose for which you incarnated. Your reward is not the enlightenment you have always had; it is the freedom to make full use of the powers within you.…
