Description
Excerpt from Facts and Mysteries of Spiritism: Learned by a Seven Years'' Experience and Investigation, With a Sequel
The author was conducted through the open portals into the chambers of mystic lights, and then beyond into the dismal shades of Tartarus and the foul atmospheres of the abyss. If the horrors of these regions were ever before experienced, the fact has never to our knowledge been recorded.
Since every investigator desires to understand the basic principles underlying every new phenomenon, the author is impelled to disclose important facts divulged to him; and these facts are understated rather than exaggerated.
He regrets the appearance of egotism, but this was unavoidable in a personal narrative.
Nor does he shrink from the censure or odium which some may heap upon him for his temerity in undertaking to investigate these mysteries and publish the facts. But he hopes the reader will attach no blame to any member of his family who acted under his guidance.
Of the Sequel, only one word. It consists mainly of discussions and familiar dialogues held between the spirits and the author, who acted as the writing medium. It was produced after the true nature of the Spirits was discovered. A notable fact is, that the Sequel opens with an Intro duction and closes with a Conclusion, dictated by spirits.
