Excerpt from The Problems of Psychical Research Experiments and Theories in the Realm of the Supernormal The present edition of this book is to some extent-an abridgement of the first edition, which appeared some seven years ago. I have, for instance, omitted a num ber of cases which were originally included, and also my sittings with Mrs. Piper - which material will be published at a later date in another volume. I have also omitted the original First Chapter, - since much of this material was subsequently included in my Modern Psychical Phenomena. On the other hand, I have in cluded a new chapter on Recent Experiments in Psychic Photography, - composed partly of original and hitherto unpublished material, and partly of the experiments undertaken, some years ago, by Dr. Baraduc, - in pho tog'raphing the soul. The account of his experiments was originally published in my book, Death: its Causes and Phenomena, but they are now included here as being more in line with other experiments recently under taken in this field. I have also added a brief chapter on the Scientific Investigation of Psychic Phenomena by means of Laboratory Instruments.
