Excerpt from Fact and Fancy in Spiritualism, Theosophy, and Psychical Research
The request of numerous friends that I publish, in a collected and permanent form, a series of lectures delivered before the Ohio Liberal Society of Cincinnati, is my apology for placing this little volume before the public. Not having been originally intended for publication, the treatment of the subjects therein discussed is somewhat desultory, and lacking in continuity of thought and unity of design.
The occasional repetition noticeable in some of the lectures, of matter contained in another of the series, is due to the same cause.
Very little pretension, if any, is made to originality, unless it be in the selection and arrangement of the matter, and in the literary form in which it is cast. The frequent use of the first person, as well as the somewhat rhetorical style employed, resulted from the necessity of adapting my thoughts and utterances to delivery from the rostrum.
