Excerpt from Hafed, Prince of Persia
It is now about six years since I began to take notes of these communications, given through my friend Mr David Duguid in trance; but, at that time, I had not the faintest idea that they would swell out to the dimensions of a portly volume. My rough notes were extended chiefly with the view of reading them from time to time at the private meetings of the associated Spiritualists of Glasgow, and with no thought of further publicity. It is only within the last twelve months that I was induced, by the oft-repeated request of friends on whose judgment I rely, to prepare the whole for the press. I was also encouraged in my purpose by a promise on the part of the Spirits who control the Medium, that they would illustrate their communications by Direct drawings and writings, thus, as it were, putting their imprimatur on the work.
I have stated in the Introduction how, and in what circumstances, the communications were received. How they were received will be readily understood by the Spiritualist, but there may be many led to peruse these pages unacquainted with Modern Spiritualism, to whom I would tender the advice - Begin at the Introduction if you want to have some idea of the nature and source of the communications. The reason why they were given is briefly stated by Hafed in his closing address: - "My main object was to give to this age of the world some experiences of my life in the body, in the hope that these, belonging to an eventful period of the world's history, might be of some use at the present time."
