not expect this hook to stand upon its literary merits; for UlU;OUlHl in principle, felicity of diction cannot save it, at d if SOHl1l1, homeliness of expression cannot destroy it. My >rirnary object ill offering it to the public is to assist in hrin iug J l:-;ydlOlogy ivithin the domain of the exact sciences. That this has never hccn accomplished is owing to the Iact
it is that )() successful attempt hus been made to formulate a working- J ypnthr.;sili sufflciently comprehensive to embrace all psychic llll en »ncna. I t has, however, long been felt by the ablest thin crs of our time that all psychic manifestations of the

In",

n intellect, normal UI" abnormal, whether designated by the nar» of mesmerism, hypnotism, somnambulism, trance, spiritism, dernonolouy, miracle, mental therapeutics, genius, or insanity, arc ill some wa.y related i and COt1S(XIU(,mtly, that they arc t ) he n.:fl'lT~<l to some gelU~ral11rillcipl<.! or law, which, once uncle I'S toorl, will siin pH fy and correlate thl! wh 01 c s uhjcct-ma tter, and possihly remove it from the domain of the supernatural, The London Society for Psychical Research, whose ramification: extend all over the civilized world, was organized for the purppse of makin~ a systematic search for that law. The Scci .ty numbers among its membership ninny of the ablest scie: tists now living. Its methods of investigation nrc purely scici tift(·, and painstnking to the last degree, and its field embt':i.c's all psychic phenomena. It has already accumulated arnl verified n vast array of facts of the most transcendent intc est and importance. In the mean time a large number of tho, lilcst scientists of Europe and America have been pursuing inde xmdcnt Investigruione in the phenomena of hvnnotism. The , too have accumulated facts and discovered principles of vast lmportaucc, csp(~d;tlly in the field of mental theraneutics, prlnciples which also throw a flood of light upon the general .tHthj ict of Psychology.

P EFACE.

This vastarray of facts, hus accumulated and verified, and awaitin&._,~gen,tific classific tion and analysis, would seem to justify at'least a tentative e art to apply to them the processes of induction, to the end th t the fundamental law of psychic phenomena may be discov red. In the following pages I ave attempted such a ciassification of verified phenomena, acco nts of which I find in the literature current on the subject; an I have tentatively formulated a working hypothesis for the systematic study of all classes of .psycbic phenomena. It wil be observed that I have availed myself largely of the labors 0 others, instead of confining myself to experimental researches my own. I have done this for two reasons: first, that I might avoid the accusation of having conducted a series of experim nts for the purpose of sustaining a pet theory of my own; an second, because I hold that substantial progress cannot made in science until one is ready to accord. due credit to hum integrity, and to give due weight

to human testimony. In coaclusion, I desire

say that I claim no credit for this

work, save that which is d e to an bonest desire to promote the truth {OJ' its own sake. Sincerely believing in the correctness of my h}'P')tbesis, I have ot hesitated to follow it to its legitimate CODclusion in every fi Id which I have entered. If at the close of the book I have se med to trespass upon the forbidden field of tht:oJogical discuss on, it was not for the purpose of sustaining any precoocei opinions of my own j far from it. It was because I was in 'stibly led to my conclusions by the terms of my hypothesis ' the inflexible logic of its application. I t:::aml{It but be aware that my conclusions sometimes oppose tile precose ived opinions of others. But no ODe who accepts. my h is as the true one will be compelled l!nOl'e freqnently than ve been to renounce his former

tonvictions.
