A Kiss, by Lawrence Alma-Tadema [1891] (Public Domain Image) Atlantis, the Antediluvian World by Ignatius Donnelly [1882]

Ignatius Donnelly (1831-1901), lawyer, land promoter, politician and virtuoso author, is today best known for his pioneering work on the subject of Atlantis, "Atlantis the Antediluvian World" (ATAW). Published in 1882, ATAW is one of the best constructed Atlantis theories, as it makes no recourse to occult or 'channeled' information. Donnelly's lucid style and command of the facts (such as they were) make the book readable and compelling even today.... --JBH
