Excerpt from Borderland of Psychical ResearchI have not tried in this to make any contribution to science. I am not trying anything new or sensa tional, but only to aid a little in the general enlight enment of those who are seeking some way of an in telligent understanding of the human mind in its less normal experiences. Hence the book must not be adj udged from the point of view of the trained psy chologist as an effort to help scholars, but from the standpoint of public education as designed to do what text-books can hardly undertake. I have been free with illustrations and striking incidents, both as a means of exhibiting the nature of the problems of psychic research and of creating interest and intelli gence regarding them. If the work avails to serve any such purpose, I shall be satisfied. But it is de signed as a conservative treatment of very perplexing questions, and any expectations that it will do more will mistake both its aim and its usefulness. It simply touches upon problems which yet await investigation, and, though it proceeds along the lines of well-estab lished truths, it suggests what there may be beyond them. Janna H.
