Synopsis
Excerpt from Essays in Psychical Research
Tm: papers which are here collected from various periodicals in which they have appeared, are in every sense essays in Inquiry. There is little in them for those who lama for the Spiritualist who with cer tainty explains, or for the Materialist who, with equal certainty, ignores. In spite of twelve years' association with the Society for Psychical Research I can profess no special sources of information, impose no theories, dogmatise as to no deductions. I have no claim to the attention of others, but such as they may grant to a lifelong experience of some of the phenomena under consideration. My earliest fulfilled premonition was recorded when less than three years old, and though such things were a punishable offence in nursery and schoolroom, they persisted in right of heredity, of temperament, possibly of intercourse with Nature in her wilder utterances: psychic experience being a state to live in, not an art to acquire.
