Robert Dale Owen examines reports that he places on the boundary between ordinary experience and a possible spiritual world. He combines arguments about evidence and religious belief with narratives of apparitions, unusual communications and other experiences offered as clues to life beyond death.
The work repeatedly asks how unfamiliar events should be investigated and how testimony can be weighed when it challenges received opinion. Historical discussions and personal accounts sit alongside Owen’s reflections on the relation between natural law, spiritual agency and human survival.
This complete 1872 Carleton edition preserves the original narrative, supporting material and publisher’s notices. The Cornell copy includes its archival acknowledgment and the original 1871 copyright entry; the selected printed edition is dated 1872.
