INTRODUCTION
Science is available in discussing the Survival of the Human Soul. The Existence of the Soul not a Question of Metaphysics. Philosophers of the Present Day have supplied
Matter for the Inquiry. The Author's Anonymous Pamphlet
on this Subject. The Existence of Ether affirmed by An-
tiquity and assumed by Scientists. Universal Belief that
the Spirit is destined to outlive the Body. Ether found in
Organic Life, and now looked for in Conscious Life. We
apply to the Human Soul the Law of Indestructibility of
Matter and Energy.

Transmigration of Souls believed in, but abhorred, by the Hindus. Survival as viewed by the Chaldeans, and by the Gauls. Immortality obscurely taught in the Old Testament. Taught also by the Greeks, and for a
Time by the Romans. The Christian Doctrine of Immor-
tality and Divine Love. Disagreement of Roman Catholics

the Body. The Importance ascribed to Burial Rites.

garded as a New Birth. Drawings on Prehistoric Tombs,
expressive of the Hope of Resurrection. The Sun regarded
as the Author of All Life. Symbolical Ornamentation of
Tombs in Egypt and Greece. Summary of M. Soldi's Ideas
on Prehistoric Monuments. A Forecast of the Modern
Theory of a Vibrating Etheric Fluid.
CHAPTER III
SAVAGE TRIBES
Customs of Savages resulting from the Universal Belief in
Survival. Embalming. Cannibalism. Slaughter of Aged

pendent Elements in the Human Soul as viewed by Fijians,
Greenlanders, Algonquins, Polynesians, Malagashes, Dako-
tas, Siamese, Konds, and Burmese Karens.
