The Anglican clergyman and founding member of the Society of the
Holy Cross, Charles Maurice Davies (1828 1910), published Mystic
London in 1875. The work is a collection of Davies' observations
and researches into urban spiritualism. It includes descriptions of
London mesmerists, mediums and s ances, and discussions of
Darwinism, secularism and the non-religious. Davies, who discovered
spiritualism in Paris in the mid-1850s, and became a committed
spiritualist after the death of his son in 1865, argued in this
work that the principles and practices of spiritualism did not pose
any threat to Christianity and that the two movements had much in
common and could peacefully coexist. The work is an indispensable
source on the presence of alternative religion in London and for
the beliefs and practices of nineteenth-century spiritualists. It
offers a fascinating insight into Victorian experiences and
attitudes towards the occult and the supernatural.
