Reflections on Dogs and Immortality

Adams, Charles Josiah

Where is My Dog? or, Is Man Alone Immortal?

pp. [i-ii], 7-202. 12mo, New York: Fowler and Wells, 1892. First edition. Original olive green cloth, gilt-lettered spine and front cover. Very good.

Extremely scarce and entirely engrossing essay arguing the immortality of dogs and all sentient creatures, by the "Rectory of the Church of Holy Spirit, Rondout (on the Hudson), N.Y." The author, prompted by the loss of his Tip, asks "What argument adduces in favor of man's immortality that goes not to establish a belief in the immortality of the lower animal?" An engaging comparison of the morals and manners of man and beast, and not always entirely favorable to the featherless biped. Not in Jones, Bibliography of the Dog (although it assuredly belongs there, as it deals with the inner life, the 'soul' of the dog).
