W. Whately Smith examines the evidence and reasoning behind claims of personal survival and communication after death. He distinguishes physical phenomena, automatic speech and writing, and experiences such as telepathy and apparitions, asking what each could contribute to the larger question.
The book is organised in three parts: evidence for survival, the process of communication, and conclusions. It compares interpretations of mediumistic messages and discusses how a communicator’s intentions might be affected by the person receiving them. References to earlier investigators connect the argument to the psychical research literature of its period. This is the complete 1920 E. P. Dutton edition, published under Smith’s original name.
