Item description from seller

First US edition, first printing (published simultaneously with the first UK edition). Prelims, 174pp, plus 16 leaves at end, some carrying publisher's adverts for other H G Wells' titles. A collection of essays and articles in which Wells' discusses and sets out his views on Christianity and religious beliefs. He is particularly disparaging about the doctrine of the Trinity and calls for a modern religion, without revelation or founder. In red cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering on front and spine, decorated with blind tool work (boards strong, square and clean, just a little rubbed and rounded on corners and spine ends, and very slightly sunned on spine). Internally neat, clean, and tight barring light spotting on endpapers only. There is a previous owner's name neatly inscribed on the front free endpaper (indicating that the volume once belonged to Frank T Cortell of Long Island, New York). Herbert George (HG) Wells was an English writer, prolific in many genres. He wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography. His work also included two books on recreational war games. Well-known and respected as a social commentator in his life time, Wells is perhaps best remembered for his pioneering science fiction and futurism works, including The Time Machine and the War of the Worlds. We have many more first and early editions of H G Wells' books in stock. Please inquire for a discount if considering ordering more than one volume.
