Several versions, including the "Seed Corn #5" version - part of series of tracts on spiritualism (possibly along with EHe19). "[A] lecture delivered ... at Cleveland Hall, on ... April 30, 1871". 15 page pamphlet. A section of this lecture is reprinted (verbatim?) in J. J. Morse's Leaves From My Life (pp. 27-8), which also indicates that the lecture was printed (its original form) in the Medium and Daybreak for May 5, 1871. Erroneously held to have been communicated to EHe by the spirit of Robert Owen. See debunking of this myth in PsyPioneer Volume 2, No. 5 (May 2006). Clearly related to Robert Dale Owen's 14 points in his The Debatable Land (pp. 171-76).

EHB. The Electric Physician: Or Self Cure Through Electricity. Boston: Dr. William Britten, 1875.

EHB. Art Magic: Or Mundane, Sub-Mundane and Super-Mundane Spiritism. Boston: William Britten, 1876.

Published by subscription, with run limited either to 500 or 1500-2000, depending on whose account one credits. Solicitation for subscribers reads in part: "To meet the actual cost of publication, 500 subscribers at $5 a piece will be required. After the required number of copies are drawn off, the types, plates, etc. of this work are to be destroyed, and a protective copyright will preven its republication." First edition has three cover variants: red, brown and green. Common text is from a second edition (Chicago : Progressive Thinking Publishing House, 1898, 1903 and 1909) explicitly advertised as authorized by EHB, which appears to have a minimally-different state of the text. The text of the second edition was reset. Selections of Art Magic with slight textual variances are serialized in The Two Worlds. The curator of the EH Britten Archive attributes this text, in total, to Emma Hardinge Britten, as author.

EHB. Ghost Land, or Researches Into The Mysteries Of Occultism. Boston: For The Editor, 1876.

first edition has two variants: "red" and "blue" in reference to covers. Texts are identical. Common text is from second edition: Chicago, Progressive Thinker Pub. House, 1897. The different states of the text are discussed in the curator's blog. Sections of Ghost Land with slight textual variances are serialized in The Western Star (prior to book publication, as by "Austria") and in The Two Worlds, after book publication. A second volume of Ghost Land (much different in tone and content from the first) is serialized in The Unseen Universe

EHB (?). The "Two Worlds" Portrait Album: Spiritual Mediums, Workers And Celebrities with Brief Biographical Sketches. Manchester: Printed For The "Two Worlds" Publishing Company Limited...By The Labor Press Society Limited [n.d.].

From internal quotations, dated no earlier than September of 1896. A joint endeavor with Light, Stainton Moses' publication. This is probably all that remains of EHB's Spiritual Encyclopedia project discussed in Psypioneer and in the Curator's blog. I assume that the individuals included in the Album are those who subscribed for the production of the Encyclopedia -- Emma often used subscription sales to defray her production costs -- a risky strategy, given the effects of a failure to reach minimum-required subscription levels.
