Psychography a treatise on one of the objective forms of psychic or spiritual phenomena
Excerpt from Psychography: A Treatise on One of the Objective Forms of Psychic or Spiritual Phenomena The following pages are concerned with what has been variously called Independent, Direct, or Spirit Writing. I have ventured to call it psychography, a term intel ligible in itself, moulded on already existing words, and expressive of what clumsy periphrases have hitherto vaguely conveyed. I was under the impression, when I first applied the term, that it was as new to the subject as it certainly was to me. I find, however, that I am using a word which has been before applied; and I am not sorry that I am only giving extended use to a term which is obviously applicable and convenient.

Excerpt from Psychography: A Treatise on One of the Objective Forms of Psychic or Spiritual Phenomena Before commencing the special work which I have set myself to do, I wish to make clear what I propose and what I do not propose to attempt in its execution. I propose, then, to set forth certain facts within my own knowledge respecting one class of Psychical Phenomena - viz., Psychography, or Abnormal Writing. These facts (respecting a subject which has obtained much publicity) I set forth on my own authority, and as part of my own experience in the investigation of Psychical Phenomena. I propose, further, to record, in a convenient form for reference, certain other facts of a similar nature testified to by others. In doing so, I shall rigidly adhere to the special fact under notice, and shall eliminate all evidence that will not bear rigid scrutiny. Confining myself to this one class of phenomena, I shall avoid repetition and the needless multiplication of records. Fully conscious as I am that evidence of this nature is cumulative, I also believe that there is a point beyond which the cumulative power ceases, and I judge it best to narrow down the issue as far as possible. Respecting these facts, I do not propose to maintain any theory, though I shall briefly enumerate some hypotheses which are put forward. I shall not vex myself and perplex my readers by the discussion of any a priori grounds of rejection with which some investigators bewilder themselves.

The Victorians had a thirst for knowledge. This drove them to explore the unchartered corners of the world, plumb the unfathomable depths of science, discover evolution and create some of the engineering and architectural marvels of the world. Yet this open-mindedness also at times made them utterly gullible. Because of their closeness to disease and the ever-present threat of their own mortality, it was inevitable that they would be open to the claims of quacks who promised all kinds of panaceas, and to mediums who offered a means of communicating with the dead. So too did it make them eager for diversion and entertainment by the conjurers and illusionists of the great music halls. Strangely, it was through the magic-making skill of the conjurers that the activities of many of the tricksters and fraudulent mediums finally came to be exposed. Medical Meddlers, Mediums & Magicians is a box of delights for all students of Victoriana.
