From the PREFACE. There are two great schools of thought in the world -- materialistic and spiritualistic. With one , MATTER is all in all, the ultimate substratum; mind is merely the result of organized matter; everything is translated into terms of force, motion and the like. With the other, SPIRIT or mind is the ultimate substance -- God; matter is the visible expression of this invisible and eternal Consciousness. Materialism is a barren, dreary, comfortless belief, and, in the opinion of the author, is without philosophical foundation. This is an age of scientific materialism, although of late years that materialism has been rather on the wane among thinking men. In an age of such ultra materialism, therefore, it is not strange that there should come a great reaction on the part of spiritually minded people. This reaction takes the form of an increased vitality of dogmatic religion, or else culminates in the formation of Spiritualistic or Theosophic societies for the prosecution of occult phenomena. Spiritualists are now numbered by the million. Persons calling them- m selves mediums present certain phenomena, physical and psychical, and call public attention to them, as an evidence of life beyond the grave, and the possibility of spiritual communication between this world and the next. The author has had sittings with many famous mediums of this country and Europe, but has seen little to convince him of the fact of spirit communication. The state tests and so-called materializations have invariably been frauds. Some experiments along the line of automatic writing and psychometry, however, have- demonstrated to the writer the truth of telepathy or thoughttransference. The theory of telepathy explains many of the marvels ascribed to spirit intervention in things mundane. In this work the author has endeavored to give an accurate account of the lives and adventures of celebrated mediums and occultists, which will prove of interest to the reader. The rise and growth of the Theosophical cult in this country and Europe is of historical interest. Theosophy pretends to a deeper metaphysics than Spiritualism, and numbers its adherents by the thousands; it is, therefore, intensely interesting to study it in its origin, its founder and its present leaders. --THE AUTHOR.
