Synopsis
Excerpt from Lecture on Spiritualism, Delivered Before an Audience of Three Thousand, at the Tabernacle, in the City of New York, in November, 1855: Comprising an Account of the Manifestations Which Induced the Author's Conversion to Spiritualism, and Confirmed His Hope of Immortality
Were a tyrant to inclose a human being while alive, in a cast-iron vessel, the aperture through which the introduction should be made being closed by a stopple soldered in air-tight, all the ponderable ele ments of the corporeal body would be retained; but can any one who believes the soul to survive the body think that it would remain in cluded in that vessel so long as it should endure? Cast-iron coats itself with a carbonated peroxide, vulgarly called rust, and then undergoes no farther change, so that the corporeal elements might be retained to an infinite time. But could the soul be thus imprisoned, perhaps to eternity? Could the tyranny of a man thus imprison an immortal soul? Does it not follow that the soul would not be confined by the air-tight and apparently impenetrable metallic vessel?
