Though my mother did not know of the spiritualistic orgies in Switzerland, she knew that my father was a spiritualist.
Tylor says: 'The spiritualistic theory specially insists on cases of apparitions, where the person's death corresponds more or less nearly with the time when some friend perceives his phantom. But visionaries, he remarks truly, often see phantoms of living persons when nothing occurs. As Mr.
Laurie came back to town in a condition of interior quietness that rather astonished him. He had said to Maggie that he was not convinced; and that was true so far as he knew. Intellectually, the spiritualistic theory was at present only the hypothesis that seemed the most reasonable; yet morally he was as convinced of its truth as of anything in the world.
Nevertheless, the instinctive part of me that part of us which refuses to fraternize with reason, and which we call the superstitious because we cannot explain it would not let go the spiritualistic theory, and during all my life has never quite surrendered it to the attacks of my brain. There was a long pause.

Henry was quite intimate with President Lincoln, who, though not a believer in spiritualism, was from time to time deeply impressed by the extraordinary feats of spiritualistic performers, and naturally looked to Professor Henry for his views and advice on the subject.
"The next, 'The theory of the book is bad, full of morbid fancies, spiritualistic ideas, and unnatural characters. Now, as I had no theory of any kind, don't believe in Spiritualism, and copied my characters from life, I don't see how this critic can be right.
Can we get into the barn, Kitty?" "Yes; but you mustn't hurt him." "No fear. I think too much of him. Don't you come in. I'll be out in a moment, like the medium from a spiritualistic dark cabinet."
This region is the summerland of which we hear in spiritualistic circles the world in which, by the exercise of their thought, the dead call into temporary existence their houses and schools and cities.
