Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Modern Mystery, or Table-Tapping: Its History, Philosophy, and General Attributes
Of the loftier attributes of the subject. This we did the more readily, as everyone is, to some extent, acquainted, or has had opportunities of becoming acquainted, with the lesser and greater peculiarities of the phenomenon, while comparatively few know anything of its scientific qualities or character. We have carefully abstained from introducing anything calculated to give false impressions or an injurious bias. Our aim has entirely been to set Truth crowned upon his throne, and to tear the veil from Off a base imposture. In furtherance of this object, we have selected so-called spirit mysteries of the accidental, the designed, and the natural kinds. These we have traced to their respective sources, and those chie?y mysterious or apparently spiritual have turned out not to have been, therefore, the less mun dane or earthly. From other hands the effort may, indeed, we full well know, have come more complete and faultless - from none, we can boldly say, with an honester desire to render it both.
