John W. Edmonds (1799-1874), a prominent New York judge, and George
T. Dexter, a New York physician, met though their shared interest
in the spirit world. They were both dabbling in the spiritualist
movement - first with scepticism - and decided to join forces in
their investigations of such phenomena as 'spirit-rappings'. Dexter
eventually found himself 'fully developed as a writing medium',
with his pen controlled by unseen forces. Their conclusions,
published in 1853 in Spiritualism, which went into numerous
editions and was followed in 1855 by a second volume, caused much
controversy. Drawing from their observations, the work gives
examples of the authors' purported interaction with the spirit
world and their journey from doubt to belief. Volume 1 includes
detailed introductions by both authors explaining their experience
with spiritualism, which are followed by the letters from two
spirits - nicknamed 'Sweedenborg' and 'Bacon' - who communicated
their thoughts through Dexter.

develop as a 'speaking medium' and includes transcriptions taken by
Edmonds of what the spirits relayed through his co-author during
the meetings of their circle of spiritualists.
