The narrative, or story, presenting the subject of spiritualism in this book, is based upon incidents and observation in the experience of the writer, so grouped as to entertain the reader in a continuous recital, until he has thoroughly that comprehensive and fascinating field frequented by so large a class of inquisitive and credulous minds.

The writer makes no apology for entering the field of fiction to convey so important a truth, involved in so alluring a subject, but reminds the reader that this has been a legitimate field of thought in all ages on all subjects.

The reader, on finishing, will find himself posted with a volume of information on this modern delusion that should fortify him against any of its approaches.

The chapter on psychic force, or mental law, is intended to interest the student in the statement of some now well-established facts in the realm of mind.

Appended is a convenient table of definitions of psychic terms, suggestive also of the complex and comprehensive field outlying a solution of the mysteries of human life.
