Hardcover. Condition: Ex-Library. Presumed first American ediiton. No date (c. 1875). Hardcover in decorated royal blue cloth. vi+ 331 pp. plus 4 pp. publicher's ads. A vintage ex-library copy with the usual flaws, spine strip stained, rubbed and chipped. Collection of Rev. Davies' observations and researches into urban spiritualism in mid-Victorian London. In the introduction he states, ".I use the term Mystic, as applied to the larger portion of this volume, in its technical sense to signify my own initiation into some of the more occult phases of metropolitan existence.". It includes descriptions of London mesmerists, mediums, seances, disscussion of Darwinism on the Devil, secularism, etc. Among the forty-six short chapters---"A Lady Mesmerist", "A Phrenological Evening", "A Seance for Skeptics, " An Evening With Higher Spirits", "A Ghostly Conference", etc. Though he had discovered it in Paris in the mid 1850s, Davies became a devoted spiritualist after the death of his son in1865. He saw spiritualism as alternate religion and argued here that it did not pose a threat to traditional Christianity and that the two could peacefully co-exist.
