Excerpt from The Widow's Mite and Other Psychic Phenomena
Since the issue of the first edition of The Widow's Mite, Richard Hodgson died. Up to the time of his death, D'r. Hodgson was firmly convinced of the spiritistic interpretation of a portion of the phenomena. William James, for years recognized as the foremost psychologist in America, has also passed the Great Divide. While Professor James was not convinced beyond a doubt Of the spiritistic hypothesis, yet he declared, shortly before his death, that if he had to make a choice of explanations, he would be compelled to choose the spiritistic explanation as being the more reasonable. Prof. Cesare Lombroso, the famous criminologist Of Europe, in the last few years Of his life, was also fully convinced that these phenomena in part were Of spirit origin. Sir Oliver Lodge has recently borne similar testimony, at sundry times, as to his own convictions.
