An English lady, residing In Paris,
Miss. Anna Blackwell, has had printed
for private circulation pamph ct entitled

contains some rather strange revelations
of the intercourse that goes on between
those highly favored b,ings, mediums,
and the world of disembodied spirits.

the ancients, It's chief modern exponent

others wander about, often for hundreds

Of a superior discernment, according 10
Miss Blackwell, are gifted with the power
OF knowing what was their own previous
