Epes Sargent surveys nineteenth-century Spiritualism through accounts of table movements, automatic writing, apparitions, mediumship and mesmerism. His discussion brings together reports from the United States and Europe, including the Fox family, Daniel Dunglas Home and the Seeress of Prevorst.
The later chapters compare proposed explanations, address objections and explore French Spiritism, pre-existence and psychometry. Sargent presents testimony and arguments for his interpretation of the phenomena, alongside accounts of contemporary scientific disputes. This complete 1869 Boston edition includes the original contents, notes and index.
