Martin,
Yes Dunlap's books were difficult to locate. My request for a book 
search of the LA
Library expanded systematically to include the resources in California, 
then the
bordering states. It was not until they queried Brown University that 
it was found.

When the LA Library locates the book they phone you and ask if you 
wish it sent.
The book is sent and signed to you for 10 days if I recall correctly. 
You pay the insurance and return postage I seem to recall.

I today no longer have the copy of "Sod" I purchased at Cherokee Rare 
Books
in Hollywood (you were there with me one day) but still have a photocopy 
of
Dunlaps "Vestiges of the Spirit History of Man," 1858, New York, D. 
Appleton & C0. It has longhand inscription "Presented by Reuben A Guild 
Librarian, Brown 
University April 22, 1884."

One work that traces the syncretic history of the "Savior" is by Kersey 
Graves,
"The Worlds Sixteen Crucified Saviors" 1879, BOSTON, COLBY & RICH 
PUBLISHERS

Another unique work is that of Vincent A Fitz Simon; "The Christ of 
Promise in
Homer.Hesiod,Vergil,Ovid,Horace Etc." 1909 Press of J. J. Little & Ives 
Co., N.Y.
(this work is intensive cypher substitution of the characters of the 
title Authors
script of their times)

I also seem to recall HPB mentioned the works of Godfrey Higgins,Esq. of 
note his
"Anacalypsis an Attempt To Draw Aside the Veil of The Saitic Isis" 2 
vol. 1836, as
well as his "Celtic Druids." This is republished by Health Research.

they will send a catalogue on request.
