105 p. 4to. San Francisco. Limitation; one of 350 un-numbered copies. Publisher’s quarter linen hardcover, absent pasted paper label on spine cover, marble boards. Dimensions: .75 W x 6.5 D x 9.5 H inches. Approx. weight: 1 pound. 3 ounces. About the author and work: "Though Prentice Mulford is not as well-known as a number of his contemporaries, he is today by no means a man without an audience. Students who run through early San Francisco journals are familiar with his numerous contributions, which appear under his full name or his pseudonyms, Prentice and Dogberry, and they are aware that during the golden age of California letters he was numbered among the best. “Prentice Mulford’s Story,” his amusing autobiography written for the White Cross Library in 1889, has , in spite of its rarity, reached a fairly large public. Many a Californiana enthusiast has been tempted to hail it as a minor masterpiece. And followers of occult sciences, both in America and Europe, have long accepted Mulford as a pioneer in “New Thought”; the six volumes of his philosophical essays can be found in any well-stocked metaphysical library. Insofar as there has been, however, no opportunity for the reader to obtain Mulford’s western writings in book form, a collection of the cream of his journalism is long overdue." (Introduction) CONDITION NOTES: Very good; light wear not commensurate with age and use (e.g. absent title label on spine cover, light wear-slight handling wear/soil on cloth spine cover, slightly rubbed board edges, light age-toned text pages - see images), strong square spine/tight binding, clean text. A beautiful copy.…
