For your consideration is this 1882, twenty-fourth edition of "Atlantis: The Antediluvian World" by Ignatius Donnelly, published by Harper & Brothers in New York. Ignatius Loyola Donnelly (1831 –1901) was a U.S. Congressman and a prominent Minnesota leader of the Populist Party from 1890-1896. He was a Radical Republican Congressman from 1863–1869 and a Minnesota state legislator. The book claims that the island, known as Atlantis in ancient times, was the remnant of an Atlantic continent and the original home of the Aryan, Semitic, and possibly Turanian races. According to Donnelly's book, Atlantis was destroyed in a natural disaster that caused the island to collapse into the water, along with the majority of its inhabitants. A few individuals escaped by ship and raft, conveying the account of the disaster to nations all over the world, as evidenced by flood and deluge legends in numerous civilizations. The book's 24 chapters and reference notes also seek to present evidence to corroborate Plato's portrayal of Atlantis. The book shows a green hardcover and gold gilt designs on the front and the spine. The spine reads, "Atlantis: The Antediluvian World" in gold gilt lettering while the front shows an image of Poseidon being pulled in his chariot by two Hippocamps (fish-tailed horses). The book shows good condition overall with some slight wear present from its age and use over the years, but no signs of major damage or wear is noted. It measures 7 5/8" L x 5 1/4" W x 1 1/4" D and weighs 1 pound and 6 ounces.
