"My mode of instruction will be entirely new, while the great principles by which I hope to sustain my position are original and exclusively my own, no author, so far as I know, having ever discovered or made known the universal law and order of dualism by which all things are made, moved and sustained, nothing having the power of creating itself, moving itself, or sustaining itself. This dualistic law I shall apply to mind, and demonstrate that it has no more power to create itself or the ideas forced upon it, than a stone has to create and to move itself. I shall also show that the mind is an indivisible unit, without faculties, and without power, except, such as is given it by the force of objectivity and the unavoidable organism and condition of body"--Preface.

First published in 1869, this book describes the spiritualist activity of Scottish-born Daniel Dunglas Home (1833-86), who emerged as a medium in the United States in the wake of the Fox sisters' alleged 'spirit rappings' in the mid-nineteenth century. Written by the Irish journalist and politician Windham Thomas Wyndham-Quin, Lord Adare (1841-1926), who befriended Home in 1867, the book records Adare's observations of seventy-eight spiritualist sittings over two years, and reports verbatim the conversations between Home and the spirits with whom he was allegedly in contact. Adare also describes Home's supernatural interactions away from the formal setting of a séance. The accounts were originally written as private reports to Adare's father, the landowner and archeologist Edwin Wyndham-Quin, third Earl of Dunraven. Dunraven was deeply interested in spiritualist activity and wrote the introduction to this work, which also includes a classification of all spiritualist phenomena.
