Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Apparitions: An Essay, Explanatory of Old Facts and a New Theory; To Which Are Added, Sketches and Adventures
When, in the summer of 1854, my attention was first directed to the phenomena of Spirit manifestations, and before I knew anything about them beyond what I learnt from mere rumour, I considered that they must necessarily be the most impious buffoonery ever palmed upon the credulity\ of a nation. Further investigation, of a laborious 'and minute character, not only satis fied me that this hasty and insulting opinion must be retracted syllable by syllable, but I became convinced that the manifestations are among the most valuable and important indications of the principles of God's dealing with mankind.
