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 this 1917 publication English physicist Sir William Fletcher
Barrett (1844 1925) purports to rescue psychical research from the
scorn of his colleagues and provide indisputable evidence for the
existence of psychic phenomena. A successful scientist (he was
elected Fellow of the Royal Society and was honoured with a
knighthood), Barrett was better known for his psychical work and
his attempts to reconcile it with his scientific pursuits. Certain
that the human spirit could linger after bodily death, in this book
Barrett examines a wide range of spiritualist practices including
levitation, spirit photography, mediumship, automatic writing, the
ouija board, clairvoyance, and telepathy, carefully considering the
evidence for each phenomenon in the hope that they will in time be
recognised as scientifically established facts. This book is a
much-revised edition of Barrett's 1908 publication On the Threshold
of a New World of Thought, republished to include more
'trustworthy' evidence.
