Although famous throughout Europe for his mind-reading skills,
Stuart C. Cumberland (1857-1922) was a staunch critic of the
'rascality' of some spiritualist practices and their practitioners.
He claimed that many of the seances and other events which he had
experienced were merely fraudulent money-making impostures. He
wrote several books on his life as a thought-reader, in which he
also revealed the techniques of fake mediums and psychics. (His
That Other World, of 1918, is also reissued in this series.) In
this 1888 work, Cumberland narrates his own history and career and
describes some of his most memorable seances. One of these took
place in the House of Commons, where Cumberland subjected none
other than the prime minister at the time, W. E. Gladstone, to
having his thoughts read. Their encounter made a great impression
on the author, who found Gladstone one of his most remarkable
subjects.
