Overview

Excerpt from A Defence of Modern Spiritualism Few men, in this busy age, have leisure to read massive volumes devoted to special subjects. They gain much of their general knowledge, outside the limits of their profession or of any peculiar study, by means of periodical literature; and, as a rule, they are supplied with copious and accurate, though general, information. Some of our best thinkers and workers make known the results of their researches to the readers of magazines and reviews; and it is seldom that a writer whose information is meagre, or obtained at second-hand, is permit ted to come before the public in their pages as an authorita tive teacher. But as regards the subject we are now about to consider, this rule has not hitherto been followed. Those who have devoted many years to an examination of its phenomena have been, in most cases, refused a hearing while men who have bestowed on it no adequate attention, and are almost wholly ignorant of the researches of others, have alone sup plied the information to which a large proportion of the pub lic have had access. In support of this statement it is neces sary to refer, with brief comments, to some of the more promi nent articles in which the phenomena and pretensions of Spiritualism have been recently discussed.
