J. H. Powell presents an account of Spiritualism that begins with personal experiences and sceptical doubts. He follows these experiences with discussions of scriptural supernaturalism, theology, science and the interpretation of reported manifestations.
Later chapters consider mediumship, involuntary muscular action, mechanical explanations and magnetism. Accounts of dreams and hauntings broaden the inquiry, while Powell compares the explanations offered for such reports. The complete 1864 edition retains its original illustrations, chapter sequence and concluding material, offering a connected presentation of the author's experience and argument.
