AND ITS SURVIVAL OF BODILY DEATH BY FREDERIC W. H. MYERS EDITED AND ABRIDGED BY S. B. AND L. H. M. Cessas in vota precesque, Tros, ait, Aenea, cessas? Neque enim ante dehiscent "Nay!" quoth the Sybil," Trojan! wilt thou spare WITH PORTRAIT LONGMANS, GREEN AND CO. FOURTH AVENUE & 30TH STREET, NEW YORK BOMBAY, CALCUTTA, AND MADRAS EDITORS' NOTE ABOUT sixteen years have elapsed since the first appearance of Human Personality and its Survival of Bodily Death. The book costs two guineas, and is in two volumes, each of which is little under 700 pages in length. One half of each volume consists of appendices containing examples of the various kinds of phenomena analysed and classified in the text. In this abridgment the text is very materially condensed, and the greater part of the appendices has been omitted. The cases, however, which are included are nearly always quoted in full, and now form part of the text. These cases must be regarded simply as illustrative of the different types of evidence upon which in its entirety the argument of the book ultimately rests. The reader who may feel disposed to study this evidence in more detail should refer to the original edition. |
