This volume should be properly called “A History of Modern Spiritualism,” for it is a thorough and careful survey of the whole subject of well-attested phenomena believed to be spiritual.
Prof. WM. CROOKES, F. R. S., of London, the celebrated chemist, whose scientific verifications of the spiritual phenomena are now creating such a sensation, writes, under date of April 17, 1874,—
“Planchettewas the first book I read on Spiritualism, and it still remains, in my opinion, the best work to place in the hands of the uninitiated.”
GEO. WM. CURTIS, inHarper’s Weekly, says of it,—
“It is a copious and popular but faithful summary of the phenomena and theories. The ample knowledge and literary skill with which the subject is treated make this volume an indispensable manual to all who are attracted to this speculation, and it will be read with great interest by the skeptic as well as by the believer.”
The Rev. Dr. BELLOWS, in theLiberal Christian, says of it,—
“It sets forth many important considerations with regard to the philosophy of the mind, while its historical notices of the development of Spiritualism during the last twenty years give a more complete and impartial view of the phenomena in question than has thus far been presented to the public.”
The New York Expresssays,—
“This is certainly one of the most startling works of our sensational age. It purports to give a duly authenticated narration of spiritual manifestations, which are beyond the bounds of credulity by any calm thinking reader; and yet the asserted facts are given with such an apparent truthfulness and distinctness of detail, and the learned and distinguished names connected with the scenes described are of such weight, that it is impossible to deny the conviction impressed upon the mind that either Spiritualism is one of the greatest delusions of the age, or that it is indeed a new manifestation of supernatural power, deserving the investigations of our theologians and teachers. The work, from its extreme interest, will amply repay a careful perusal.”
The Boston Journalsays,—
“Mr. Sargent has here collected a vast amount of information, and whoever wishes to have an intelligent epitome of the whole history of modern Spiritualism will find it in this volume.”
