Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traverses the realms of hell to expose the strategy of the devil and his allurements to ensnare humanity. It lays bare the machinations and stratagems of the malevolent force, revealing its modus operandi as it ensnares humanity. The author takes a journey through hell, encou…ntering the machinations of the devil, a figure modernized for the present day. Through a series of encounters, the author unpacks the devil's playbook, unmasking his cunning tactics. This book delves into the profound wisdom surrounding the inherent battle between good and evil. Far from being an age-old tale of morality, the book elucidates the devil's insidious schemes, demonstrating how he exploits our yearning for knowledge, liberty, and even goodness itself, beguiling with temptations tailored to each individual's desires. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Condition: Sehr gut. First Edition. Octavo. Frontispiece, 125 pages with woodcuts throughout the publication. Hardcover / Original publisher's illustrated Hardcover in protective Mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. Hilary Pepler, also known as Douglas Pepler, was born at Eastbourne to a Quaker family and ed…ucated at Bootham School. After school, he tried several occupations including land surveying, the tea trade and engineering. In the early 1900s, Pepler moved to Hammersmith, London with his wife Clare Whiteman, and obtained employment with London City Council in the department of child-care. He developed an interest in social theory and how to improve the lives of working people in the face of industrialisation, writing several tracts on the subject. On a practical level, he was instrumental in the introduction of free school meals; by any standards, a very considerable achievement. His experience of Social Work however, left him skeptical as to the ultimate value of such initiatives and most inclined to support self-help as a better means of eradicating poverty. Hammersmith at the time was something of an Arts and Crafts enclave and Pepler became deeply involved in the movement and the socialist politics of Fabianism. He soon became friends with Edward Johnston, later meeting Eric Gill. These three formed a close bond, spending many hours debating social and artistic issues. Pepler with Susan and Stephen (1916). Notwithstanding Gill's move to Ditchling in 1907, Pepler continued to develop his ideas and maintained contact. One major initiative that he was involved in was founding the Hampshire House Club in 1907, a working men's club in Hammersmith with a strong political and didactic agenda. When war broke out, the organisation was used as a basis to organise workshop facilities for refugee Belgian craftsmen in a structure not unlike what the Guild was to become. Indeed, lessons learnt from this experience were to inform the way the Guild was set up. Another major project for Pepler was writing The Devil's Devices which was published in 1915 by Hampshire House itself. It is a satire, not just opposing capitalism and industrialisation, but also Trade Unionism, Government and even general education which he sees as an unnecessary distraction in the lives of the working classes. He gives support to the Distributist ideas of small workshops, owned by the workers, as the preferable mode of economic entity but goes beyond most thinkers by declaring everything else being the work of the devil. What he seems to be proposing borders on a benign form of anarchy with no central provision, and his views have obviously moved a long way beyond what could be appropriate for an official with LCC. It is of little surprise that he was by now looking for different employment. (Source: The Guild of St.Joseph and St. Dominic).

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. An early collaboration between Eric Gill and Pepler who would go on to work together in many ways including at the more famous St Dominic's Press in Ditchling. The Gill illustrations are slightly atypical in style making them all the more interesting. The printed paper boards are lightl…y rubbed and the cloth at the spine has a nick over the front hinge. The interior is bright and clean. Front free endpaper seems to have been removed. The half-title lacks (or perhaps never had) the bottom centimetre. Size: Octavo . Illustrator: Eric Gill. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Religion & Theology; Inventory No: 77308. Eric Gill (illustrator).

6 wood cuts and 5 triangular devices by Eric Gill. Copy no.71 of 200 numbered "proof" copies, signed by Eric Gill and Douglas Pepler. 12mo., original quarter smooth canvas with red paper covered pictorial boards, with Dumb Driven Cattle by Gill on the upper cover, a little rubbing and fading to the boards and mild spotting to en…dpapers, otherwise a good and bright copy. Seen as the precursor to the S. Dominic's Press with its early Gill engraving and close collaboration between Gill and Pepler. At the time this book was published, Pepler worked for the London County Council and was the organiser of the first school meals service in London. The Devil's Devices, a sociological satire, reflect his social concerns at the time and reflects on wealth and capitalism with some very interesting use of page design and printing. Printed at the Westminster Press, 441a Harrow Road, just down from our current shop.
