The unexpected success attending the demand for this original booklet, "Who Are These Spiritualists?”—growing in size through each edition into the present bound volume, has far exceeded my most sanguine expectations; calling from my heart's depths, grateful appreciation towards personal inquirers and all of our patrons so promptly securing copies.

The rapidly increasing demand for Spiritualistic literature of a rational and religious character, is a marked and significant sign, showing the progress and the search-light purposes of the times.

Naturally shrinking from the chill and silence of death, nothing of greater importance can possibly occupy the human mind than the present proofs—the incontestable proofs of a conscious life beyond the grave.

With this book goes forth from my soul thousands of good wishes and richest of heaven's blessings.
