Eransiaedand Explained. Judge Ed
nsonds refitied. or an Exposition ofhe
Involuntary Polcers and Iashacfs Of
The Human Mind. By JONI BoYEn
Dom. limo New York, Derif ant
Davenport
This volume is collection Of lee
lures delivered originally in the City
Hall at Auburn N. Y. in April, 1851.
and since repeated elsewhere. he
author attempts TO account nationally
for the phenomena said 10 attend what
are called spirit manifestations. He
allows all sincerity and honesty to the
mediums. but contends that no spirit
ual agency concerned in their opera
tons; and he undertakes TO account
for them all upon theory of physiolo-
gy Of which he claims 10 be the discoy-
erer, or at least to be the first who
applies certain anatomical and physio-
logical facts to the exposition of the
spirit manifestations.
We are not prepared to subscribe to
Mr.. Dodd's theory. because it is moi
found upon facts ascertained by expo
riment, butupon speculations in regard
to the laws of the animal economy,
which, iftrue, are not demonstrably Sc
and in no science, whether physical OF
metaphysical, has human speculation
led to truth.
Mr.. Dodd assumes that the brair
generates electricity. and the nerve.
convey it to all parts Of the body. In
deed, this is the basis of his theory
BUTT IS bare assumption. not sus
tanned by anything knowno fthe stru c
ture of qualities of the brain or nerves
we can see nothing IN the structure o
apparent qualities Of the contents o
the Uranium which resembles any othe
electric battery, nor in the nerve
anything which fits them for the con
yeyance of the electric fluid. Yet boil
may be possible We only conten,
that differences cannot be safely mad,
from premises which are in theniselve
doubtful.
On the whole, the book is ingeniou
and readable. But it has failed b
convince us that our theory is wrong
We believe the whole to be the worI
ofthe Devil. and when we get time, AN,
feel inclined, we intend to write q boo
on the subject and rcfute both Nj
Dodd and Judge Edmonds.
