Excerpt from The Spiritual Body
The MS. of this Essay on the Spiritual Body was sent after its author"s death to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. The Society decided that it should be published, and entrusted me with the task of editing it. It will of course be understood that the Society in no way commits itself to the theories here propounded, which are in fact of a highly speculative character. The Essay is to be regarded simply as a thesis for discussion, the reflections of an independent thinker of unusual philosophic power, on one of the difficult problems of Christian eschatology.
It will be evident to any reader, whatever estimate he may form of its arguments, that this is an Essay upon which its author spent great pains. The subject had been in his mind for years. It was indeed in process of revision when he passed from speculation on the nature of the spiritual body to an experimental knowledge of the same.
