Coates, James
Clairvoyance; Spiritualism; Telepathy
Space would not suffice me to mention the names of all the highly
educated and refined minds, in the medical, literary, philosophic,
and scientific walks of life, who have studied these phenomena, and
who, like Dr. Georget, have no more doubts of their reality than they
have of their own physical existence, status, or reputation. Among
medical men--some of whom I have known and corresponded with--might be
mentioned Sir James Simpson, Drs. Elliotson, Ashburner, Esdaile, Buss,
Garth Wilkinson, Hands, Wyld, Hitchman, Eadon, and Davey. Among others
on the roll of fame, might be noticed Archbishop Whately; Earls Ducie,
Stanhope, Macclesfield, Charleville; the present Duke of Argyle; Lord R.
Cavendish, Lord Lindsay; Burton, the traveller; and the late Sergeant
Cox. Among literary men, Mr. Gladstone, Britain’s foremost statesman
and scholar; Mr. Balfour, his able and talented opponent; Bulwer
Lytton, Marryat, Neal, Robert Chambers, Dickens, and Stevenson, of “Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” fame. Mr. George Combe, the distinguished Scottish
metaphysician, philosopher, author, phrenologist, etc., was profoundly
interested in the phenomena. Among well-known men of science might
be mentioned Camille Flammarion, the French astronomer; Fichte, the
German philosopher; Professors Tornebom and Edland, Swedish physicists;
Professor Oliver Lodge, D.Sc., F.R.S.; Alfred Russell Wallace,
D.C.L., LL.D.; William Crookes, F.R.S.; Cromwell F. Varley, F.R.S.
Notwithstanding this somewhat formidable array of investigators of
clairvoyance, many good people will not hesitate to deny the value of
such evidence, and yet will believe anything in its favour which may be
found in the Bible, as to its existence in the _past_. It is a strange
perversion of judgment--not at all surprising--when the majority take
(second-hand) for their religious(?) views whatever is recognised as
“sound” in each particular district and Church. It is not a question of
belief, it is “a question of evidence,” as Mr. Gladstone avers.
