- Lot Description
[LUDLOW, Fitz Hugh (1836-1870)]. The Hasheesh Eater: Being the Passages from the Life of Pythagorean. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1857. PRESENTATION COPY OF THE FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST BOOK ON CANNABIS IN ENGLISH, inscribed by the author to his sister-in-law, Mary Osborne, on the front free endpaper. The first full-length work of American drug literature that was ?a sensation when it was first published (four printings in four years), then largely forgotten until the mind-altering drug renaissance of the 1960s, and now considered a neglected masterpiece of American literature and hallucinogenic drug experience? [This] book is an account of his experiments with large, psychedelic doses of cannabis extract while a student at Union College? (Horowitz, Phantastica 153). Gamage & Zerkin, p. 62. A Horowitz high spot.
