A LARGE ARCHIVE RELATED TO TIMOTHY LEARY, FROM THE ESTATE OF JOANNA HARCOURT-SMITH.LEARY, TIMOTHY. 1920-1996. The present lot comprises a large collection of manuscripts, audio tapes, correspondence, printed matter, and photographs of and relating to Timothy Leary and Joanna Harcourt-Smith, including: MANUSCRIPTS. Neurologic. Transmitted by Joanna and Timothy Leary. [Vacaville Prison, CA, 1973.] 4to. Typed Manuscript, [17] + 178, [10], [1] pp. Numerous corrections made with white-out and a few in holograph, one leaf with newspaper clipping pasted above text, some wrinkling and creasing to margins. ORIGINAL TYPESCRIPT CONTAINING EXPANSIVE SECTIONS NOT FOUND IN PUBLISHED EDITIONS, with a few minor corrections in Leary's hand. Neurologic is Leary's seminal essay describing his seven-circuit model of consciousness, a significant development in his theory of evolutionary neurology. Typed from California Medical Facility prison in Vacaville, California, the present manuscript differs substantially from all published editions of the text, as printed and distributed by Joanna Leary [Harcourt Smith], and later by Level Press [all 1973]. Those editions omit large portions of the present manuscript, including pp 12-57 - comprising the majority of Part I, "The Basic Transmissions," pp 64-70, 75-85, and other passages of similar length. They also omit the long poem which opens the first section of the manuscript, titled "This Galactic Transmitting Instrument was Kidnapped from Afghanistan for Your Enlightenment," a reference to the seizure of Timothy and Joanna Leary by U.S. Drug Enforcement agents in Kabul.
