  • Ethnology of the Sixth Sense, Studies and Researches into its Abuses, Perversions, Follies, Anomolies, and Crimes – Dr Jacobus X – 1899

    Ethnology of the Sixth Sense, Studies and Researches into its Abuses, Perversions, Follies, Anomolies, and Crimes – Dr Jacobus X – 1899

    By Jacobus X [Louis Jacolliot] published by Charles Carrington, Paris based bookseller and publisher of erotica in 1899. A limited first edition of 1000. Original blue cloth binding, 422 pages all in fine condition.

    The “Sixth Sense” not the psychic sense but the genital sense which is explored in its active phase.

    Includes, among many topics, clinical accounts of deformities of the sexual organs, such as “profound despondency of the unfortunate persons who have lost their penis”, “penis found in stomach of dog” etc.

    Interestingly the preamble says “this work, printed for a small number of Subscribers – Medical Men – Experts and Specialists in Nervous Diseases – Lawyers etc.” The limitation page suggests 1000 copies but is unnumbered as with other copies we have seen.

    You need to be over 18 and eccentric to buy this book – proof required

  • Microscopical Mounts and Mounters – Brian Bracegirdle

    Microscopical Mounts and Mounters – Brian Bracegirdle

    This is the Bible as far as the world of collectors of prepared microscope slides is concerned. For the uninitiated, this is a wonderful pursuit and Brian Bracegirdle (1933 – 2105) was a genius putting this book together. No similar reference exists and it is highly sought after by collectors of scientific historicals.

    Dr Bracegirdle was responsible for receiving the transfer of the Welcome Medical Museum Exhibits to the Science Museum in South Kensington, a formidable achievement. He was a strong personality, a hard taskmaster and like port … his obituary on the Science Museum website is well worth the read.

    This book published in 1998 with the support of the esteemed Quekett Club. By this time, Brian was retired and living in Cheltenham. 225 pages after preliminaries including 60 full page plates of photographs of slide examples by many of the distinguished makers listed and described at the front.

    It should be the ambition of all slide collectors to have at least one good example of every slide mounter in Bracegirdle. Voyager has quite a few and still searching.

    No better guide has been or will be produced.

    Now very hard to find and … who will compile another one?
