Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ... III. PHYSICAL PHENOMENA. 1. Psychograpliy, or Slate-Writing. One of the mOst interesting phases of modem mediumship, on the physical side, is psychography, or slatewriting. After an investigation extending over ten years, I am of the opinion that the majority of slate-writing feats are the results of conjuring. The process generally used is the following.

But first I will treat you to a regular seance." On my way to C'-s home I tried to put myself in the frame of mind of a genuine seeker after transcendental knowledge. I recalled all the stories of mysterious rappings and ghostly visitations I had read or heard of. It wasjustthe night for such eerie musings.
