World" was some ten years later. Both

which we have lately grown accustomed.
Mrs Groves book is a collection of more
or less authenticated instances of appari-
tons presentiments, prophetic dreams, sec

scientific, she was discriminating in her
acceptance of uppoSedly-spiritual mani
festations. for which she did not attempt to
