Excerpt from Science and a Future LifeThe elaborate Reports of the Society for Psychical Research seldom get beyond the shelves of its mem bers, and it is possible that few of this class read them with any such care and patience as students are made to bestow upon Aristotle, Kant, and Hegel. I know one prominent member who had my own lengthy report on his table for six months without knowing what it was about. If those who profess allegiance t...

Excerpt from Psychical Research and SurvivalThe term psychic research is easily mis understood by two separate and Opposed types of mind. Both classes assume that it primarily has to do with spirits, but one ridicules the subject, While the other looks to it for proof of its hope or belief. This limita tion of import, however, is a mistake. The only thing that will make this clear is a history of the movement which names its work by this term....

Excerpt from Enigmas of Psychical ResearchThe present volume may be considered as a sup plement to the one on Science and a Future Life, which has been published.
