Overview

From the author's Preface.THIS volume has grown out of a paper originally read at a discussion meeting of the British National Association of Spiritualists, held at their rooms, 38 Great Russell Street, London, on the evening of December 16, 1878.In that paper I presented certain evidence for the identity of spirits who have from time to time communicated with me; and I founded an argument upon the evidence produced.Confined within narrow limits by the exigencies of the occasion, I dealt with one phase of the subject only, and my treatment of it was cursory. I have, however, considered it best to print the paper as it originally was delivered, with some few additional facts, and to supplement its imperfections and omissions, to some extent, in other parts of the book, especially in the Introduction.I have also reprinted from the Spiritualist certain papers bearing on the general subject of this work; and I have added in another Appendix cases of identity before published, to which allusion is made in the course of my argument.Writing, as I now do, for the student who has penetrated within the outer ring of this subject, I assume a certain amount of knowledge on his part, and a certain acceptance of principles, which I do not stop to discuss.And it is fair to add that I deduce from my facts certain arguments for the religious tendency of Spiritualism, which my readers will modify or reject as it pleases them. Probably they have their own religious notions already; but whether so or not, the facts are independent of any theory that may be built upon them.
