EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE SPIRIT
MANIFESTATIONS: BY ROBERT HAsE, d. d. "o',
pp 40. Partridge Bntsn.
The distinguished scientific reputation of Pro
sessor Hare will doubtless awaken a curiosity as
70 the contents of this volume, even among readers
Who have been satiated with the inco herent plati
tudes 90 loosely put forth as revelations from the
spiritual world. No one can accuse the author Of
prejudice or fansticism-his mental tendencies
have been in the direction Of skepticism-and II
vas not until the pretensiOns Of splritualism were
apparently confirmed by the evidence OF the senses
that hewas convinced of their truth and reality.
His attention was first directed t. the subject by
the explanation given BY Professor Fsraday OF the
phenomena Of tabe-turning. he entirely con-
cured in the views Of Faraday and took an active
part in their defense. At a subsequent period, be
consented to visit circles in which spiritual mani
estations were alleged to be made, and from
repeated experiments became convinced that their
production could not be ascrbed to fraud or self
deception He then cOntrived an apparatus,
which if spirits were actually concerned In the
phenomena, would enable them to manifest their
physical and intellectual power, independent OF
control by any medium. The results OF his inyes-
LEGATIONS with this apparatus were to him Of the
most satisfactory character One Of the commu-
nicstioIs which produced the deepest impression
on his mind purported to be derived from the spirit
Of his deceased father. This ia on too extensive

must find room for few Of its most characte
tstic paragraph The father OF Professor Hare,
may be promised, was man of more than ordinary
Intelligence, Of excellent education, and Of some
political note in the State Of Pennsylvania
