How to Speak with the Dead: A Practical Handbook

by Sciens

About this book

Writing under the name Sciens, the author presents an account of survival after death and the forms of communication associated with spiritualism. The book moves from arguments about the soul and continuing personality to telepathy, discarnate spirits and the role of mediums.

Later chapters describe different methods of communication and the conditions the author considered suitable for a sitting. A substantial preface connects psychical investigation with the scientific interests and expectations of the period, while a closing chapter sets out the book’s relationship to spiritualism and rationalism. This is the complete 1918 E. P. Dutton edition, with its eight chapters and original printed pages preserved.
