Excerpt from The Phantom World, Vol. 1 of 2: Or, the Philosophy of Spirits, Apparitions, &CAmong the many phases presented by human credulity, few are more interesting than those which regard the realities of the invisible world. If the opinions which have been held on this subject were written and gathered together they would form hundreds of volumes - if they were arranged and digested they would form a few, but most valuable volumes. It is not merely because there is in almost every human error a substratum of truth, and that the more momentous the subject the more important the substratum, but because the investigation will give almost a history of human aberrations, that this otherwise unpromising topic assumes so high an interest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
