Daniel Dunglas Home surveys Spiritualism in ancient traditions, Jewish and Christian history and the modern movement. He links accounts of prophecy, visions and apparitions with the practices and debates of nineteenth-century Spiritualists.
The modern section distinguishes experiences Home regarded as significant from delusions, unsupported claims and deliberate tricks. Chapters discuss tests, séances, spirit photography and methods used by fraudulent mediums. This complete 1878 second and cheaper London edition retains all three parts and Home's closing reflections on the religious meaning of Spiritualism.
