Miami, FL: [Mark-Age MetaCenter], 1962. Mark-Age archive. 22 items: Gloria Lee Lives!; Unified Space Program to World Leaders; The Hierarchal Plan Book One; The Hierarchal Plan Book Five; 8 Bulletins (1-7,11); 3 Compilation & Analysis of Impending Events Releases (1-4,5,6); Key Unit Coordination Report; Mark-Age publication list and order form; List and order form for Mark-Age Bulletins & Releases; History of the Origin of All Things; Coordination Report Number 1; Manned Space Flight; Cosmon Meditations. The collection is comprised of about 22 printed self study courses and other pamphlets by Mark-Age, Inc. This collection covers the first two years of this groups existence. Rare. Mark-Age was founded as the Mark-Age MetaCenter in 1960 in Miami, Florida by Pauline Sharpe and Charles Boyd Gentzel. Both were channelers, and Sharpe was a contactee. Charles Boyd Gentzel was known as Mark and Pauline Sharpe was known within the group as Nada-Yolanda. While it was officially founded in 1960, the group was based on a spiritual message Gentzel had supposedly received in 1956, with the name "Mark-Age" being "revealed" in 1949, which was deepened by a second message on the significance of the name six years later. Mark-Age was affiliated with Gloria Lee, the founder of the Cosmon Research Foundation. She died in 1962 during a hunger strike, communicating with the group shortly before her death, and after her death members claimed to commune with her. The year after her death they published Gloria Lee Lives! which purported to be her communications from beyond. Among their services were classes, seminars, and as sponsors for leaders in the growing metaphysical, self-help arena. Mark-Age has published books, booklets, courses, magazines, and audiocassettes for an international membership of individuals, churches, schools, universities, and independent study groups. Mark-Age is a contactee or UFO religion, as well as a New Age one, with Christian elements. Their beliefs are heavily influenced by Theosophy.

Publisher's original printed blue wrappers with black lettering and decorative pale gray panel and lozenge. Quarto (11 7/8 x 9 1/8 in; 302 x 233 mm). 145, [3] pages with decorative borders. Twenty-seven mounted color plates with wide decorative borders, and captioned tissue guards (four colored plates not found in the English edition of 1914). Title-page features Dulac's elaborate yellow border design of flowing vines, scrolls, extending spikes; the limitation page features a Dulac-designed decorative frame enclosing the limitation statement. Both designs are exclusive to this edition. A Fine copy. "In some of the pictures for this book Dulac continues with the style developed for Princess Badoura the year before. In others, he reduces the scale and adds a richness of detail to create an effect similar to that seen in Persian and Indian miniature art. The pictures are generally serious but Dulac's ever-present humor creeps in" (Hughey). "The fantasies which Scheherazade wove...need a jeweled commentator, and Dulac alone possesses the necessary gifts" (Birnbaum). Hughey 35h.

Purcell began his musical career as a choirboy and remained a church musician throughout his life, holding positions at Westminster Abbey as well as the Chapel Royal. Like John Blow he wrote four types of church music: services; anthems for full choir and organ, or with short ensemble verse passages (often called full with verse anthems); verse anthems for solo voices, choir, and organ; and 'symphony anthems' for solo voices, choir, strings, and continuo, which at first were performed exclusively in the royal presence though several later circulated more widely in versions with organ accompaniment only." Peter Holman and Robert Thompson in Grove Music Online An English organist, composer, collector, antiquarian, and founder of the Novello publishing house, Vincent Novello (1781-1861) did much to promote the study and performance of music in 19th century England.

New Albany, Ind: [Printed by The Tribune Company(?), 1916. Octavo (22 x 15 cm.), 44, [iv] pages. Advertisements. Author from cover. Printer and date of publication from external evidence. ~ Evident FIRST EDITION. A contract community cookbook undertaken "in answer to the demand among church and club women for something new" - a reference to "relishes, garnishes, and much [else that] will appeal to the women seeking a pleasing change" (from the anonymous prefatory paragraph headed "Popular Dainties" on page 3). With three hundred short, unattributed recipes, including: Sweet Pepper Salad, Orange de Menthe (with pickled walnuts), Dandelion Salad ("In the spring time, every household should have this salad at least once a day."), Nasturtium Salad, Pickled Oysters, Gooseberry Relish, Pineapple Flummery, Maraschino Ice Cream, Pomegranate Punch, Ginger Root Punch, Sassafras Shrub, Nut Glace, Candied Violets, and a peculiar grouping of Chili con Carne, Fish Chowder, Loo Ching Suey, Li Hung Chang Suey, and Mushrooms à la Japan. ~ Crown Camp 4224 was a chapter of the Royal Neighbors of America, a mutual aid collective first conceived by wives and members of the fraternal society Modern Woodmen of America, in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and formally chartered in 1895 in Peoria, Illinois. Modeled on the Woodmen, a beneficial fraternity also born in Iowa, the Neighbors expanded after their incorporation into dozens of communities, espousing a philanthropic mission to provide assistance in times of need. Both organizations established themselves as purveyors of insurance products, in which guise they continue to conduct business still. ~ New Albany, seat of Floyd County on the southern border, faces Louisville across the Ohio River. Its Neighbors chapter, identifying themselves in city directories as the Ladies' Auxiliary of Woodmen chapter 3463, met on Wednesdays in the hall of yet another fraternal organization, the Improved Order of Red Men, at 107 West Market Street. Their cookbook is presumed to have been assembled by means of a contract service, as at least five other instances of the same title are known, all of them with advertising from different communities but without corporate ascription on their title pages. That the recipes are unattributed also suggests a process of compilation from a list of offerings rather than submission by authors to an editorial committee. Local printing by the Tribune is proposed solely on the notion that the newspaper's job printing service was much used by, and well advertised in, directory and other community service publications. ~ Several clues to dating provide a reasonable if not definitive span. On the later end, the detailed advertisement for J. H. Fisher Wines & Liquors on the rear panel of the wrappers suggests the sensitivities that must have lain under the surface ("auto delivery, with no signs" and "no marks to indicate contents") before Prohibition reached Indiana in April 1918. But a handwritten annotation in pencil to a recipe for Feather Cake (on page 43) - "Baked Oct. 20 '16" - can be permitted to tighten the frame by two years. The terminus post quem might also be pushed back, as the note of proprietorship in an advertisement (on the interior front panel) for the Knoefel Drug Company might signal the business's recent purchase by Edward G. Mayes in November 1911 (The Pharmaceutical Era 44 no. 11 [November 1911], page 505). But on a cautionary note, it also may be the case that Rose Detrick's purchase of a millinery store in 1913 (Currier-Journal [Louisville, Aug 21, 1913], page 10) may be the transaction referred to in an advertisement on page [24]. ~ Age-toning and light soil throughout; stapled, in soiled and rubbed printed gray wrappers, with advertisements to all panels. Good. Unrecorded. [OCLC locates no copies; not in Brown, Cook, or Cagle].
