Cincinnati, Ohio, C.G. Hellenberg, 1883. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A good copy. A presentation copy signed by the author to the front pastedown, A spiritualist book reporting on the supposed communications by Lizzie Green with the historical figures such as Thomas Paine, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Quite uncommon. One recent auction record, similarly a signed copy, sold at $480 in 2021. Of marginal sf interest given the section on life on Mars. T.J. Ring's copy with his plate to the front pastedown, some rubbing to the cloth and a little tanning and bumping. Publisher's (i.e. the author's) stamp to the title page declaring him the publisher. A couple of stamps from the "Greater World Association" on a couple of leaves. Glue residue on the title page where a label has been over the publication place. Rear endpaper excised.
