ARTHUR HILL _Author of "Psychical Investigations," "Man is a Spirit," "Spiritualism; Its History, Phenomena and Doctrine," etc._ NEW YORK: HARCOURT, BRACE & HOWE, 1920 _Printed in England_ PREFACE Many friends and correspondents have suggested that I should republish a number of articles which have appeared from time to time in various quarters. The present volume brings these articles together, with some which have not appeared before. Each chapter is complete in itself, but there is more or less connexion, for each deals with some aspect of the subject to which I have given most attention during the last twelve years--namely, psychical research. I thank the editors of the _Holborn Review_, _National Review_, _World's Work_, and _Occult Review_ for permission to republish articles which have appeared in their pages. J. A. H.
