Miracles and Modern Spiritualism

by Alfred Russel Wallace

About this book

Alfred Russel Wallace examines arguments about miracles and the evidence he considered relevant to Spiritualism. His essays engage with Hume, Lecky and other writers, then turn to reported physical phenomena, clairvoyance, apparitions and testimony from scientific and literary observers.

Wallace presents his own interpretation of the reports and explains why he regarded them as matters for investigation. This complete revised 1896 edition expands the earlier collection with chapters on objective apparitions and phantasms, and includes the appendix and index. The original text and historical binding are preserved.
