Description
No publisher place: No publisher listed, 1880. Ephemera no binding. Very good. 11 ½" x 13"; cotton-even weave, perhaps lawn; copper plate or roller printed in color; left side selvage, 3 sides hand-rolled and stitched hems; light soiling, age-toning of cotton, foxing; very good. Not recorded or in WorldCat. A copper plate or copper roller printed handkerchief, or more correctly, bandana. Perhaps part of a larger set, as this one is labeled "No. 1", it portrays a color printed scene of travelers and immigrants at a ticketing station, many barefoot and drawn as ethnic caricatures. The French sailor with his broad straw hat and striped shirt; a Negro carrying a heavy sack, possibly in prison garb; a Scotsman in a kilt; a Russian wearing a large bear hat; a carpetbagger with a leg shackle on his right ankle; and some drawn as "toughs", with their cap pulled low over their eyes. A two-stanza rhyming verse with a five-bar musical score is printed under the illustration, and all surrounded by a geometric black border. Immigration was on the minds of Americans, especially after the Civil War, and the 1870s to 1890s saw high levels relocation from Europe and other countries. In 1891 the federal government passed the Immigration Act and removed the power of individual states to regulate immigration.

Berwick, Maine: Ibis Press / Nicolas-Hays, Inc, 2004-08-28. 1st Printing. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 5x1x8. First printing. An excellent copy. xxxvi, 249, xv, 204, [4] pp. 2004 reissue of two works first released in 1895 and 1898, with a new foreword by R.A. Gilbert. In The House of the Hidden Places, first published in 1895, Adams clearly lays out evidence that the Great Pyramid at Giza corresponds architecturally to the initiation ritual detailed in the Egyptian Book of the Dead (which Adams preferred to call what he felt was its rightful title, The Book of the Master). The House of the Hidden Places was the first book to go beyond the current speculations on the astronomical purpose of the pyramid to reveal its deeper meaning. The Book of the Master, first published in 1898, is an in-depth exploration of the religious beliefs of the Ancient Egyptians. His penetrating study revealed startling insights for his day, pointing to the origins of Christian theology as well as those of humanity itself. Long before Dr. Leakey discovered proof of our African origins, Adams theorized, based on his Egyptian studies, that civilization began in Africa, rather than Asia, which was the accepted theory in his time.
