William and Elizabeth Denton present their investigations into psychometry: the claimed ability to gain impressions of people, places and events through contact with objects. The book records accounts in which fragments of natural materials and historical objects become the starting points for descriptions of an unseen past.
The authors connect these experiences with geology, natural history and questions about perception. Their reports describe the conditions of the experiments, the impressions received and the interpretations they drew from them, placing individual experiences within a larger account of nature and memory.
The volume offers a nineteenth-century example of attempts to investigate unusual mental experiences through observation and repeated trials. This historical scan preserves the printed pages, illustrations and original arrangement of the work.
