Joseph McCabe follows Spiritualism from its beginnings in 1847 to the movement he encountered in the early twentieth century. His aim is to place contemporary claims and disputes within a continuous historical account, tracing people, organisations and reported phenomena across successive periods.
The narrative considers the growth of the movement and the changing forms of evidence offered for it. McCabe sets accounts of mediums and investigations beside the arguments made by supporters and critics. The complete 1920 book retains its original chapters, notes and index, providing the full scope of this historical survey rather than an extract from a later discussion.
