Mrs. Piper & the Society for psychical research / translated & slightly abridged from the French of M. Sage, by Noralie Robertson ; with a preface by Sir Oliver Lodge.
A 1904 New York translation by Noralie Robertson of Michel Sage's French account of the medium Mrs. Piper and the Society for Psychical Research, with a preface by Sir Oliver Lodge, held by the Countway Library of Medicine. The only picture is an ornate bookplate with an oval relief of a seated figure, a standing woman, a child and a lamb beneath a tree, framed by the Latin motto 'Servat et docet' and the words 'Bibliotheca Bostoniensis Medicinae' and 'Ex dono'. A designer could draw on its classical oval medallion, laurel border and banner lettering for a historical emblem or label layout.
