Miracles and Modern Spiritualism is a book written by Alfred Russell Wallace, a British naturalist and explorer who is best known for independently conceiving the theory of evolution through natural selection. The book was first published in 1875 and explores the phenomenon of spiritualism, a movement that emerged in the mid-19th century and claimed to communicate with the dead through mediums.In the book, Wallace examines the evidence for spiritualism and argues that it is a genuine and scientifically valid phenomenon. He presents numerous case studies of s�����ances and other spiritualist practices, and offers his own interpretations of the phenomena that he witnessed. He also discusses the history of spiritualism, its cultural and social implications, and its relationship to religion and science.One of the central themes of the book is the idea that spiritualism represents a new form of knowledge that challenges traditional scientific and religious beliefs. Wallace argues that spiritualism provides evidence for the existence of an afterlife, and suggests that it has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the universe and our place within it.Overall, Miracles and Modern Spiritualism is a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of a controversial and often misunderstood topic. It offers a unique perspective on the spiritualist movement and its impact on the intellectual and cultural landscape of the 19th century.1896. With chapters on apparitions and phantasms. The author presents his belief that spiritual beings can and do communicate with us and produce material effects in the world around us. Those who believe as he does must see in the steady advance of inquiry and of interest in questions of this nature, the assurance that those beliefs will not be accepted by all truth seeking inquirers. The author includes a section as an answer to the arguments of Hume, Lecky and others against miracles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
