Much of modern science is based upon the theories and discoveries of William Gilbert, the brilliant English physician and physicist who was the first great experimental scientist. Gilbert was the first to use the word "electricity," to recognize mass as distinct from weight, to discover the effect of heat upon magnetic bodies, to differentiate clearly between static electricity and magnetism, and to explain phenomena of terrestrial magnetism in terms of the earth as a giant magnet. In 1600 he published De Magnete in Latin. As lively and entertaining as it was scientifically scrupulous, it summarized everything that had previously been known about electricity and magnetism, founded a new science and earned Gilbert the title of "the father of modern electricity." In it Gilbert explores magnetism and electricity, lodestones, phenomena of magnetism, direction of the earth's magnetic lines of force, variation in the compass, dip, the concept of the earth as a giant magnet, and much else. This Dover edition is a complete, unabridged reprinting of the definitive English translation of De Magnete prepared by Dr. P. Fleury Mottelay. Dr. Mottelay has added a number of footnotes that explain points that might be obscure to today's readers, who will find in this historically important text invaluable insights into the origins of modern science and physics. Translation by P. F. Mottelay. Biographical introduction. 90 illustrations.

Eternal Youth. Unimaginable Wealth.
Unlimited Power. The Most Beautiful Maiden. 
This ancient wizard can grant you anything. What is it that you desire..? 
Just make sure that you keep your end of the deal…
Decaying vampires, beautiful virgins, sinister phantoms, marauding bandits… A mysterious and solitary wizard inhabits a magnificent castle overlooking Lake Como. The Innominato (The Nameless) is known to provide assistance to those in need of special favours. 
But beware – amongst the many rumours surrounding this immortal legend is one in which he is said to be a necromancer of immense power. 
How badly do you want this favour…?
Pick up this creepy, blood-spattered page turner and read it today! First published in two volumes in 1867 from hidden manuscripts replete with tales of sorcery, vampires, family secrets, child-spectres, and murder. An array of spellbinding tales from a noted author at the height of his powers, this collection marks the eventual return of a lost classic to the ranks of Victorian horror and dark fiction.
Compelling Gothic themes, exotic environs and engrossing plots are populated by a range of both pure and evil characters. These and more await in this collection of deliciously ghoulish and macabre stories as well as the Innominato himself: known to have made himself much beloved and yet also a man 'much dreaded for his sanguinary propensities.' 
"I don't believe it possible for any man to be endowed with knowledge such as he is reported to have, without trafficking in the powers of darkness..."
Good or Evil? You decide... Includes the infamous The Last Lords of Gordonal. "With Innominato, Oleander Press has unearthed a little-known gothic masterpiece." - Janette Currie The Author: William Gilbert (1804-90), the father of W.S. Gilbert of Gilbert and Sullivan fame, became a well-known and much-respected writer after a career as a naval surgeon. A noted author of various novels and biographies, he also produced short stories for a range of magazines including Argosy. Some of these, all concerning the enigmatic wizard and astrologer, the Innominato, were collected and published in the volume The Wizard of the Mountain in 1867 now incredibly rare. These stories are now collected and reproduced in Oleander's edition Innominato - The Wizard of the Mountain and are once again available to enjoy.

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)
