Gustavus Myers surveys the investigations of psychic phenomena that were reshaping discussion of survival after death in the early twentieth century. His 1910 book considers the observations and arguments of researchers in Europe and the United States, concentrating on the relationship between reported events, experimental conditions and possible explanations.
A substantial part of the account concerns experiments involving Eusapia Paladino and the physical phenomena attributed to her. Myers also discusses the communications and cross-correspondences associated with Mrs. Piper, Mrs. Verrall and other participants in psychical research, and the conclusions drawn by figures such as Oliver Lodge. The later pages include the objections and findings of a recent American investigation. This is the complete original edition, preserving the author’s continuous argument and its concluding discussion.
