Edward T. Bennett presents a short account of the Society for Psychical Research, drawing on his experience as its assistant secretary from 1882 to 1902. He introduces its origins and surveys the kinds of experiments, reports and testimony that occupied its early investigations.
Seven chapters discuss thought transference, hypnotism, psychic healing, the subliminal self, apparitions and reported communications with the dead. Facsimile drawings accompany the discussion of telepathy experiments. Bennett distinguishes different forms of evidence and closes with his conclusions about the society’s work. The original 1903 volume retains its illustrations and complete text.
