Besant, Annie (1847-1933) — Thought Power: Its Control and Culture

London and Benares The Theosophical Publishing Society First Edition, First Printing pp. 145 + four leaves of advertisements to the rear matter. Small octavo., measuring 5" x 7.5". Tan cloth over boards with black lettering to the spine, and front board. A few faint spots the front board, trifle edgewear to cloth extremities, neat ink name and striking monogram to the endpapers, else, clean and unmarked; very good. A rare offering of the first printing, which we note remains unrecorded amongst existing institutional holdings. ¶ "This little book is intended to help the student to study his own nature, so far as its intellectual part is concerned. If he masters the principles herein laid down, he will be in a fair way to cooperate with Nature in his own evolution, and to increase his mental stature far more rapidly than is possible while he remains ignorant of the conditions of his growth."
