Psychomancy: Spirit-Rappings And Table-Tippings Exposed (1853)

By Charles Grafton Page

Book Overview

Psychomancy: Spirit-Rappings And Table-Tippings Exposed is a book written by Charles Grafton Page and published in 1853. The book is a critical examination of the popular spiritualist practices of the time, particularly spirit-rappings and table-tippings. Page, a renowned scientist and inventor, uses his knowledge of physics and physiology to debunk these practices, arguing that they are simply the result of subconscious movements or deliberate fraud. He also critiques the spiritualist movement as a whole, arguing that it is based on superstition and ignorance rather than scientific evidence. The book includes detailed descriptions of various spirit-rapping and table-tipping demonstrations, as well as experiments conducted by Page to test their validity. He also includes accounts of his own experiences with spiritualists and their practices. Overall, Psychomancy: Spirit-Rappings And Table-Tippings Exposed is a fascinating examination of the spiritualist craze of the mid-19th century and a compelling argument against the validity of these practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
