256pp. Original printed wrappers. Some wear to wrappers. Occasional trace of foxing, late minor dampstain. Still, about fine. A superior copy of a scarce work. Converted to spiritualism in 1848 by teenaged Kate and Margaret Fox, the author and his wife were early believers and did a good deal to further the movement. Spirits contacted here include Swedenborg, Calhoun, Washington, Penn, Voltaire, and Jefferson, with an introduction by Franklin. Post was a noted abolitionist, and his wife was a supporter of women's rights; their circle of friends included William Lloyd Garrison, Susan B. Anthony, and Frederick Douglass. "[Post] had a mind quick and vigorous in the perception and acceptance of new ideas and ready to acknowledge them regardless of consequences" - DAB. N° de réf. du vendeur 10989
