When I entered upon the study of the work of the Pfeychical Research Society it was in my capacity of special assistant to Dr. O. Stanley Hall in his investigation of Spiritism, and not with the expectation of publishing anything of my own. But as the work progressed, and as it became evident that Dr. Hall sother writings and duties would make it impossible for him to publish anything on this subject for some time to come, it seemed best that I should take the work in hand myself, because now seems to be the psychological moment to present the reverse side of the case of Spiritism. Though my name is appended to the book, and though I am responsible alone for my opinions, I lie, therefore, under the greatest obligations to Dr. Hall, not only for his encouragement, but for the opportunity to have sittings with Mrs. Piper, and for the unpublished manuscripts of his which have been at my disposal, to say nothing of the extensive citations from his notes which appear in the book, and of his I ntroduction. I wish also to express my sense of obligation to Mr. G. B. Dorr, who arranges Mrs. Piper ssittings for her, and to Mrs. Piper herself for their unfailing courtesy and their desire that Dr. Hall and I should have a free hand with the controls.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes evidence for spirit communication and telepathy, examining it rigorously to determine whether either is scientifically sound. The author, a scholar of psychology and psychic phenomena, offers a close examination of the work of the Psychical Research Society and its most famous medium, Mrs. Piper. The author presents the evidence gathered concerning communication with the spirits of the dead and the possibility of telepathic communication between living people. The book includes a thorough review of the methods used by the Society and the author's own experiences during sittings with Mrs. Piper. The author concludes that the evidence for both spirit communication and telepathy is inconclusive and that the claims of mediums should be met with skepticism until such evidence is found. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
