Excerpt from Modern Spiritualism: Or, the Opening Way

The first two of the articles in this small volume are reprinted, with slight alterations, from the "Unitarian Review" for November, 1879, and September, 1882. The third is now added, with more full statement of some of the points made in the first two. The three together make a second series upon Modern Spiritualism, following that published in 1863. It is matter for satisfaction, to the writer at least, that the views expressed so long ago find so much confirmation in this later publication.

To minds familiar with modern things of the spirit, which are rapidly ceasing to be the strange mysteries they at first appeared, though yet only partially opened, there may seem to be little that is new in these pages. But they have been written, and are now published, for the uninitiated, as well as for those acquainted with the facts and experiences. Through all there has been no seeking after novelty, but rather and only for the truth.
