Excerpt from Planchette or the Despair of Science

You anticipate that the child born this year will see in his generation our men of science become reverent believers in the supernatural of the Scrip tures. In the facts I here present, you will find some reasons for this opinion; but you will also learn that there are persons who admit the phe momena, but denounce Spiritualism as a nervous epidemic, based on a gigantic assumption, and propping an ancient superstition, namely, that of individual spirits! So, you see, there will be work still for the Spiritualists, even when the facts are generally accepted, as they are likely to be within the next quarter of a century. For portions of this volume, I can claim no other merit than that of a compilation. Some of it, however, is compiled from past publications of my own. For what I have adopted from others I have endeavored to give credit, except where the purely narrative form of the matter seemed not to require it, or its source could not be traced.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

To THE REV. W. M.: ~jTY DEAR FRIEND, More than twenty years ago, we ventured to cross the border of what Ennemoser calls the great ill-famed land of the marvellous. Certain manifestations arrested our notice. Repelled and, for a long time, baffled by what seemed merely grotesque or trivial, we did not abandon inquiry. Our interest in the proscribed phenomena has not yet abated.

�valuation du vendeur 4 sur 5 �toiles

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book brings together detailed, first-hand accounts of inexplicable phenomena, primarily through mediums, and provides a sweeping analysis of the subject. The author explores the historical backdrop of these phenomena and traces the way our understanding of this subject has evolved from the rapping and table-tipping of the mid-19th century to the use of the planchette in 1868, all the way to contemporary manifestations. The book also delves into the diversity of mediums and the astonishing array of phenomena attributed to their involvement. It examines various theories, from the physical to the spiritual, that attempt to explain these events, and explores the contradictions and challenges in our understanding of their origins. Ultimately, this book invites readers to engage with these phenomena, encouraging further investigation and discussion around this intriguing subject that has puzzled observers for centuries. Its insights on the nature of the unexplained and the limitations of scientific inquiry make it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to expand their understanding of the paranormal. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330348048_0
