First published in 1869, this book describes the spiritualist
activity of Scottish-born Daniel Dunglas Home (1833-86), who
emerged as a medium in the United States in the wake of the Fox
sisters' alleged 'spirit rappings' in the mid-nineteenth century.
Written by the Irish journalist and politician Windham Thomas
Wyndham-Quin, Lord Adare (1841-1926), who befriended Home in 1867,
the book records Adare's observations of seventy-eight spiritualist
sittings over two years, and reports verbatim the conversations
between Home and the spirits with whom he was allegedly in contact.
Adare also describes Home's supernatural interactions away from the
formal setting of a seance. The accounts were originally written as
private reports to Adare's father, the landowner and archeologist
Edwin Wyndham-Quin, third Earl of Dunraven. Dunraven was deeply
interested in spiritualist activity and wrote the introduction to
this work, which also includes a classification of all spiritualist
phenomena.
