It is from this point that the mystery of his career really becomes conspicuous.
About 1850-1870 phenomena, which had previously been reported as of sporadic and spontaneous occurrence, were domesticated and organised by Mediums, generally American. These were imitators of the enigmatic David Dunglas Home, who was certainly a most oddly gifted man, or a most successful impostor. A good deal of scientific attention was given to the occurrences; Mr. Darwin, Mr. Tyndall, Dr.
I now very briefly, and 'under all reserves, allude to the only modern parallel in our country with which I am acquainted.
