Excerpt from Thought Transference: A Critical and Historical Review of the Evidence for Telepathy, With a Record of New Experiments 1902-1903
Since the foundation of the Society for Psychical Research more than twenty-three years ago, a great mass of more or less well-evidenced material has been published upon subjects such as thought-transference, crystal gazing, ghosts, mediumship, physical phenomena and other so-called "occult" manifestations. There have, however, been but few attempts to sum up the evidence and make it available for the ordinary citizen who cannot find time to read the whole of the thirty volumes published by the Society. Even in the Society's own publications there is, as a rule, no periodical summing up of the evidence for the various phenomena and hypotheses.
I propose, therefore, to discuss Psychical Research or Metapsychics, as Professor Richet terms it, in a series of works which will deal critically but sympathetically with the evidence.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a critical examination of the evidence for thought transference, or telepathy, as it was known in the early 20th century. The author delves into the history of psychical research and the methods employed by the Society for Psychical Research in its quest to prove the existence of mind-to-mind communication. The book tackles the skeptical arguments against telepathy, particularly those rooted in the scientific belief that action at a distance is impossible. The author explores the limitations of scientific knowledge in the face of phenomena that defy easy categorization, highlighting the importance of open-mindedness and rigorous experimentation in the field of psychical research. Through the lens of a historical perspective, the book offers a detailed examination of the concept of telepathy, its implications for understanding human consciousness, and the potential for extending our understanding of the universe. The author delves into the complex relationship between mind and matter and the limitations of current scientific explanations for seemingly inexplicable phenomena. This book is a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the nature of consciousness and the possibilities of human experience beyond the realm of our everyday senses. It offers a clear and thought-provoking analysis of the evidence for telepathy and the potential for a deeper understanding of the human mind.
