Joseph McCabe examines the evidence offered for spiritualism in the aftermath of his public debate with Arthur Conan Doyle. He surveys different classes of reported phenomena and brings together cases, investigations and explanations that form the basis of his critical argument.
Nine chapters discuss mediums, materialisations, raps and levitation, spirit photographs, clairvoyance, messages and automatic writing. McCabe also considers descriptions of the spirit world and the assumptions he finds in contemporary spiritualist literature. His preface explains the connection between the debate and this wider treatment. The original Watts & Co. volume preserves the complete text, with the author’s arguments presented in their historical setting.
