The Philosophy of Mystery is an 1841 London treatise by Walter Cooper Dendy on apparitions, dreams and related phenomena, held in the Harry Houdini Collection at the Library of Congress. The two pictures are a Library of Congress bookplate seal, with an eagle above a ring lettered and dated 1800, and a Gothic-framed heraldic shield with a griffin and motto beneath it, both in a crisp engraved style that suits seals, emblems and heraldic border designs.
