The Bible, the Kaballah, the Vedas, and ancient cuneiform tablets, torn from their hiding places in the heart of Mother Nature, all hold the key to the wisdom of the ages ; and some there are who have turned the key and the door to understanding has opened. The author of this work has found the key and he has turned it. Erect and unafraid for he has nothing to lose or gain he reverently offers you that which you are seeking. He does not claim to be the only one who has discovered the key, but, working along the lines hinted at by some modern and many ancient seekers, he hereby presents the results of his many years of scientific research. He shows that the correct translations of the Greek and Hebrew scriptures plainly state that all the allegories and fables of these works refer to actual physiological facts; and the statements "Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven and all things shall be added unto you"; "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you", and "Be ye therefore perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect" can be physiologically and chemically explained.

A release in celebration of World Womens day on March 8 2013. "Neurotic and repulsive" Blackwoods Edinburgh Magazine "A deliberate outrage" Athenaem "Crazy and offensive drivel" Saturday Review Sounds good, right? George Egertons Wedlock is a pioneering work of 19th Century female writing. First published in 1893, it is a story that set about detonating contemporary ideas of female purity, as well as helping to usher in modernism with its focus on interior life and refusal to adhere to contemporary writing standards. It has with a Dostoyevskian tang: redemption in madness and, eventually, a wonderful sense of relief. With a new, dazzling introduction by our very own Eimear McBride, plus a variety of other interesting titbits (from a small snapshot of the trailblazing Egertons life - a woman, it seemed, who had more affairs than Casanova - to two vitriolic articles from stuffy journalists of the period), for the price of a Mars Bar you can take a taste of the strange, dated, and rather glorious work of a writer who paved the way for not only a new generation of women writers and social reformers, but also for the modernist movement. James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Thomas Hardy - they all owe a debt to Egerton; and we are proud, in our own small way, of helping to make sure shes not forgotten. This special Galley Beggar Press edition comes with an introduction from our own new female-purity-detonating writer Eimear McBride, a short biography of Egertons remarkable life and End Notes looking at the phenomenon of the "new woman" - and its most strident critics.

Isis Unveiled (Vol. 1 & 2) is Blavatskys sweeping synthesis and polemic: Volume I ("Science") challenges nineteenthcentury materialism; Volume II ("Theology") rebukes ecclesiastical dogma, proposing a perennial wisdom. In an encyclopedic, citationheavy collage ranging from the Vedas and Buddhist sutras to Neoplatonists, Hermeticists, and Church Fathers, it argues for occult causation and latent psychic faculties, emblematic of the Victorian occult revival amid Darwinian debate and nascent comparative religion. Russianborn Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, cofounder of the Theosophical Society (1875), wrote in New York drawing on extensive travel, multilingual reading, and claimed instruction from Eastern adepts. A journalist and tireless compiler, she mined archives, travelers reports, and philology then circulating in Europe and America. Encounters in Egypt and India, and immersion in Spiritualist circles, reinforced her conviction that ancient esoteric sciences underlie both religion and nature. Scholars of intellectual history, religious studies, and Western esotericism will find a provocative index of nineteenthcentury thought. Read critically yet sympathetically: as a quarry of sources, a feat of comparative imagination, and a cornerstone of Theosophy. Whether sought as an alternative to positivism or as a document of the eras ambitions and anxieties, Isis Unveiled repays patient, discriminating study.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

The Passing of the Aborigines gathers Batess newspaper pieces into a chronicle of Aboriginal life and colonial rupture across remote Australia. Mixing anecdotal reportage with ethnographic notes, it describes ceremonies, kinship, languages, illness, hunger, and policing. The Edwardian, rhetorical style and serialized, episodic formshaped in part by Ernestine Hillmark an interwar "salvage" anthropology that marries meticulous observation to an extinctionist, paternalist frame. Irish-born and largely self-taught, Bates spent years among communities in Western and South Australia, most notably at Ooldea on the Nullarbor, where she was known as Kabbarli, "grandmother." Sustained by journalism, small stipends, and scientific correspondence, she compiled vocabularies and genealogies; isolation, precarity, and a crusading sense of "protection" shaped both her intimacy with and misreadings of Aboriginal worlds. Approached critically and alongside Indigenous scholarship and contemporary histories, this volume repays attention as both field record and cultural artifact. Scholars of anthropology, Australian history, and settler colonialism will value its observational density; general readers will encounter a revealing, period voice. Recommended as a starting point rather than a verdict on the peoples it depicts.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

First published in the Bureau of American Ethnology, The Sacred Formulas of the Cherokees (Illustrated) assembles a corpus of ritual textshealing, divination, hunting, love, warfare, and ball-game ritesrecorded in Sequoyahs syllabary and translated with philological care. Mooney couples the formulas parallelism, refrain, and archaic diction with commentary on performance, materia medica, and cosmology, noting numerologies and directional symbolism. The illustrated apparatus reproduces manuscripts and ethnobotanical identifications, giving visual access to a tradition where word, gesture, and object form a whole. James Mooney (18611921), a Smithsonian ethnographer with the Bureau of American Ethnology, conducted extended fieldwork among the Eastern Band of Cherokee in the late nineteenth century. Self-trained in Indigenous languages, he partnered with Cherokee practitioners and scribes, transcribing texts in the original syllabary before offering literal and free translations. Working amid missionary pressure and legal suppression of ritual practice, Mooney adopted a documentary ethic aimed at preserving knowledge while acknowledging its custodians. This edition is indispensable for scholars of anthropology, Indigenous studies, comparative religion, and ethnolinguistics, and for readers seeking a primary-source window into Cherokee intellectual life. Read alongside contemporary Cherokee scholarship, the illustrated volume invites careful, respectful study of a living tradition articulated in its own authoritative voice.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

In Teutonic Mythology: The Gods and Goddesses of the Northland (Vol. 1-3), Viktor Rydberg reconstructs the Germanic cosmos by interlacing Eddaic verse, kennings, sagas, law codes, and place-names into a narrative. His style, both philological and visionary, joins etymology with comparative Indo-European mythography, placing Odin, Thor, Freyja, and heroic cycles within a cosmogony from Ginnungagap to Ragnarok. Written in the wake of Grimm and Romantic historicism, it seeks coherence lost to Christian redaction, advancing new identifications and chronologies. Rydberg (18281895) was a Swedish poet, novelist, and intellectual whose training in classics and biblical criticism sharpened his source work. A liberal humanist and member of the Swedish Academy, he fused journalistic discipline with antiquarian zeal, seeking in the Nordic past an ethical counter to modern materialism. His historical fiction and essays supplied the confidenceand the skepticism toward late interpolationsdriving this synthesis. Scholars of Norse studies, comparative religion, folklore, and intellectual history will find this edition rewarding. Even where its bold reconstructions invite debate, the collation of texts, lucid cross-references, and architecture make it invaluable as both reference and artifact of nineteenth-century mythography. For readers who wish to see fragments cohere into a mythic epic, Rydberg remains a demanding yet bracing guide.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

The Medicine-Men of the Apache offers a closely observed ethnography of Apache healers: their rites, chants, materia medica, cosmology, and social authority. Bourke alternates translated incantations with case sketches and careful inventories of paraphernalia, embedding practice within mythic etiologies. Stylistically, it blends taxonomic catalog with vivid field reportage, typical of late-nineteenth-century Bureau of Ethnology work, rich in lexical notes and ritual choreography yet inflected by period classifications that merit critical reading. An Irish-American soldier-scholar, Bourke served as aide to General George Crook and spent years among Apache scouts and reservation communities, filling notebooks with linguistic gleanings and ethnographic detail. Access mediated by interpreters and pragmatic alliances brought him to ritual specialists. The study reflects his broader corpus, from On the Border with Crook to The Snake-Dance of the Moquis, and his salvage impulse, even as his colonial vantage inevitably delimited perception and nomenclature. Readers in anthropology, Indigenous studies, and the history of medicine will find an essential primary source: empirically rich, interpretively fraught, and enduringly instructive. Approach it critically and comparatively, alongside contemporary Apache voices, and the book yields granular evidence for understanding ritual, authority, and knowledge under conditions of upheaval.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.
