Excerpt from On the Cosmic Relations, Vol. 2Carrying to an extreme the principle that half a loaf is better than no bread, I will now give a few slices and some crumbs from Hodgson's masterly presentation of the consid erations which led him, from a fuller knowledge than has yet been possessed by all other men put together, to put a Spirit istic interpretation on Mrs. Piper's phenomena. I give these extracts, however, with considerable reluctance, because they cannot fall far short of being a positive injustice to the cause he had SO much at heart, and to his presentation of it. To get the full force Of his arguments sometimes requires pretty hard reading. Occasionally, to facilitate quotation, I trans pose a word or two, or bracket in a phrase unencumbered with my initials, but never so as to affect the sense.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
