 The Boston Transcript says of the book; We may not go with her in all the paths her thought pursues, but there is so much in what Is said that finds it's response in the readers ex- perience and feeling, that appeals by suggestion to our own convictionor that arouses our slum'bering perceptions of the best, that we can hardly help con- sidering her one of the most helpful writers of her time, within the field of thought she has chosen for herself. She is a firm believer in spiritual conl- munications, as her readers all know, but she is not aggressively dogmatic and even here one may yield oftentimes a qualified assent to what is said, We live and move and have our being in the ethereal world. We live among and in the constant companionship of the inhabitants of that realm They Join us on the streets in our walks they come to us in hours of work, or of lesiure and silence"
