Veridical messages, apparitions, movements without contact, seem prima facie to be such. It was a good stroke on Gurney's part to construct a theory of apparitions which brought the subjective and the objective factors into harmonious co-operation.

The being made of mind is the highest Self; for the text states certain qualities, such as being made of mind, &c., which are well known to denote, in all Vedanta- texts, Brahman only. Up. Up. Up.

It referred to the letter in no measured terms: the writer observed that prima facie the case was very strong and called upon Alec to reply without delay.

As Leicester, not Norreys, was in command of the army, so Howard of Effingham, not Drake, was in command of the fleet.

Indeed the preliminary portions of Justin's Gospel read very much like the sort of rough primâ facie harmony which, without any more profound study, most people make for themselves.
