Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

In 1875, the geophysicist Balfour Stewart and the mathematician P.
G. Tait published the second edition of The Unseen Universe. The
book's aim had been 'to overthrow materialism by a purely
scientific argument', and its initial success, and the controversy
it aroused, prompted this revised edition. The treatise suggests
that science and religion could be reconciled, and that by using
science, it could be proved that the soul survives after death. The
book begins with a historical account of the beliefs about the
afterlife of ancient Egypt, the Greeks, Buddhism and Christianity.
The authors then refine a Ptolemaic vision of the universe in which
the material universe is surrounded by concentric, invisible
universes. The Unseen Universe discusses the nature of matter and
ether, Newton's laws, and the idea that, through electromagnetism,
the soul upon death transfers molecularly from the visible to the
invisible universe.
