	OULD, HERMON The Way of Acceptance: A New Version of Lao Tse's Tao Te Ching London, Andrew Dakers Limited. 1946, First Thus. Hard Cover, 12mo. Publishers original brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Cloth has some minor spotting. White endpapers, front endpaper missing, previous owners names to rear of front cover, marked out. Booksellers stamp to rear of front cover. 95pp pages clean and bright in firm binding. The Tao Te Ching (Pinyin: Dào Dé Jing), roughly translated as The Book of the Way and its Virtue is an ancient Chinese scripture. The work is traditionally said to have been written around 600 BCE by the famous sage called Lao Tse (Pinyin: Laozi, WG: Lao Tzu, "Old Master"). Lao Tse is said to have been a record-keeper of the Emperor's Court of the Zhou Dynasty. The authenticity of these dates and details of authorship are still debated. The Tao Te Ching is the fundamental text of Taoism. Its origins lost in the revolutions of Chinese history, it is known to pre-date the invention of paper. In fact its form exhibits many of the features of an oral tradition, suggesting it may pre-date writing as well. The unknown author of the Tao Te Ching is popularly known as Lao Tse, which is both "the old philosopher" and "the old philosophy". Hence Lao Tse is also a title for the book. The poem's parallels with the Bhagavad Gita, its implicit opposition to Confucian thought, its relationship with Chuang Tse and Sun Tsu, and its distinction from the discipline of Zen are subjects of some controversy. As a thread connecting human endeavours over thousands of years, there appears no proper historical context for interpretation of the work. Nevertheless, there are good reasons to think of Lao Tse in the context of Go. The work's emphases on impartiality, compassion, harmony and acceptance find frequent echo in fine Go play.

No inscriptions. 88pp. including some line drawings within text, pages clean and bright in firm binding. Five lectures given in Dornach 31 March to 8 April, 1923. Christmas, Easter, Michaelmas and St. Johns - "At the times when the great festivals of the year approach our souls, it is good ever and again to bring before our inner eye, out of spiritual cosmic connections, the meaning of the festival year. And I should like to do this by setting before you how, under the influence of spiritual insights and over long ages, the festival year has gradually evolved out of the whole constitution of the Earth. If we look at the Earth and its events from such an aspect, we must only make clear that we cannot conceive the Earth as a mere conglomeration of minerals and rocks, as is done by modern mineralogy and geology, but we must rather regard it as a living, ensouled organism, which brings forth the plants, the animals and the physical being of man out of its own inner forces" - Rudolf Steiner.

	WEBER, EUGEN Apocalypses: Prophecies, Cults and Millennial Beliefs Throughout the Ages London, Hutchinson. 1999, First Edition. Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Publishers original black boards with gilt lettering to spine. Dustwrapper: unclipped, now protected in Brodart. Black endpapers, no inscriptions. 294pp including index. The distinguished historian Eugen Weber redresses the historical and religious amnesia that has consigned the study of apocalyptic and millennial thought to the lunatic fringe. An absolute belief in the end time, when good would do final battle with evil, was omnipresent until the 17th century, and retains many adherents even now. Apocalyptic visions and prophecies inspired crusades, scientific discoveries, works of art, voyages such as those of Columbus, rebellions and reforms; the British and North American abolitionists who put an end to the slave trade were driven by a belief in a final reckoning. Elegantly written, as witty and entertaining as it is profound, this book displays the author's talents as a stylist and historical detective; this is more a travel book of the apocalypse than a definitive academic treatment, and offers a sympathetic review of creeds we ignore at our peril.

Dustwrapper: unclipped, now protected in Brodart. White endpapers, no inscriptions. 236pp. Confucius espoused a philosophy at once practical and moral, eternal and conservative, and always deeply grounded in the truths of human character. His reflections on government, family life and marriage, wealth and poverty, goodness and evil are as fresh, incisive, and relevant today as they were two thousand years ago.

	WEBER, EUGEN Apocalypses: Prophecies, Cults and Millennial Beliefs Throughout the Ages London, Hutchinson. 1999, First Edition. Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Publishers original black boards with gilt lettering to spine. Dustwrapper: unclipped, now protected in Brodart. Black endpapers, no inscriptions. 294pp including index. The distinguished historian Eugen Weber redresses the historical and religious amnesia that has consigned the study of apocalyptic and millennial thought to the lunatic fringe. An absolute belief in the end time, when good would do final battle with evil, was omnipresent until the 17th century, and retains many adherents even now. Apocalyptic visions and prophecies inspired crusades, scientific discoveries, works of art, voyages such as those of Columbus, rebellions and reforms; the British and North American abolitionists who put an end to the slave trade were driven by a belief in a final reckoning. Elegantly written, as witty and entertaining as it is profound, this book displays the author's talents as a stylist and historical detective; this is more a travel book of the apocalypse than a definitive academic treatment, and offers a sympathetic review of creeds we ignore at our peril. A magnificent copy. Fine/Very Good/Fine. AUD 30.00 [Appr.: EURO 18.75 US$ 27.72 \| £UK 16.75 \| JP¥ 2449] Book number: 001558 Click here to order or inquire at Eccleston Books & Curios.
