Henry M. Hugunin recounts experiences he associates with his former practice as a spirit medium and sets out a Christian interpretation of modern Spiritualism. The introductory discussion distinguishes body, spirit, and soul before the main treatise connects séance phenomena with scriptural accounts of sorcery and familiar spirits. Hugunin writes as a participant who subsequently rejected the movement, combining recollection with theological argument.
The pamphlet describes communications, the conduct attributed to spirits, and the processes through which participants become convinced of their authority. Its closing pages gather Hugunin’s reasons for opposing Spiritualist teachings and discuss their relationship to Christian belief. Published by Baker & Arnold in 1878, this complete historical publication retains its original printed wrapper, introductory pages, thirty-two-page numbered sequence, and publisher advertisements.
