This chapter completes all that I have to say for the time being.
There is in this book much food for careful thought. Those who read
it carefully will find in it keys to much that has puzzled them, and
simple explanations of phenomena which have been greatly debated of
late. The general reader will doubtless find the incidents the most
interesting part of the book, but to the critical and those seriously
interested in psychic matters, I commend a careful and reasonable study
of the more scientific sections, for in this matter of things psychic
both Spiritualist and Sceptic are upon the same quest. From different
angles they are both seeking for the Great Truth.
