This book contains reproductions of the famous Cottingley
photographs, and gives the whole of the evidence in connection with
them. The diligent reader is in almost as good a position as I am
to form a judgment upon the authenticity of the pictures. This
narrative is not a special plea for that authenticity, but is
simply a collection of facts the inferences from which may be
accepted or rejected as the reader may think fit. I would warn the
critic, however, not to be led away by the sophistry that because
some professional trickster, apt at the game of deception, can
produce a somewhat similar effect, therefore the originals were
produced in the same way. There are few realities which cannot be
imitated, and the ancient argument that because conjurers on their
own prepared plates or stages can produce certain results,
therefore similar results obtained by untrained people under
natural conditions are also false, is surely discounted by the
intelligent public. I would add that this whole subject of the
objective existence of a subhuman form of life has nothing to do
with the larger and far more vital question of spiritualism. I
should be sorry if my arguments in favour of the latter should be
in any way weakened by my exposition of this very strange episode,
which has really no bearing upon the continued existence of the
individual.
