Publisher's Synopsis
Researches in the Phenomena of Spiritualism is a book written by William Crookes, a prominent British chemist and physicist, in 1874. The book is an account of Crookes' experiments and investigations into the phenomena of spiritualism, a movement that gained popularity in the 19th century and claimed to communicate with the dead.In the book, Crookes describes his encounters with various mediums and psychics, including the famous American medium Daniel Dunglas Home. He also details his experiments with seances, table-turning, and other spiritualist practices, and discusses the scientific methods he used to investigate these phenomena.Crookes' research was controversial at the time, as many scientists dismissed spiritualism as a fraudulent and unscientific practice. However, his book remains an important historical document in the study of spiritualism and the paranormal, and provides insight into the beliefs and practices of the movement in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
