Another incident is as follows: ION a
certain Sunday evening i'll November,
1881, having been reading Of the great
power which the human will is capable
of exercising, determined with the whole
force of my being, that would be pres
ent in spirit in the front bedroom on the
second floor of a house situated at -
HOgarth Road, kensingtOn. in which
slept two ladies OF my acquaintance. viz.
Miss l.. S. V and Miss l.. c. V aged re

at this time about three miles from Io-
garth Road and had not mentioned in
any way my intention of trying this ex-
pertinent to either Of the above ladies, for
the simple reason that it was only on re-
firing to rest upon this Sunday night
| that made up my mind to do so. The
| time at which determined that would
be there was one clock i'll the morning;
| and also had strong intention OF max

| in question, and in the course OF CONVEX
| satiOn (without any allusOn to the sub

had been much terrified by seeing me
standing by her bedside and that she
screamed when the apparition advanced

This lady, at my request, wrote down
Il statement of the event and signed it.
