Descrizione:
Gradually I became convinced that what by many have been regarded as new and unexampled phenomena are but modern phases of what has ever existed. And I ultimately reached the conclusion that, in order to a proper understanding of much that has excited and perplexed the public mind under the name of Spiritual Manifestations, historical research should precede every other inquiry, ? that we ought to look throughout the past for classes of phenomena, and seek to arrange these, each in its proper niche. |
