The First American Edition of Spiritualism Answered By Science by Edward W Cox Of The London Dialectical Society Which Attempts to Explain Spirit and Psychic Phenomena
Cox, Edward W. Spiritualism Answered By Science. Henry L Hinton. New York. 1872. First American Edition.
The first American edition of Spiritualism Answered By Science , a contemporary scientific exploration of the early Spiritualist movement written by noted lawyer, journalistic writer, and founder of the paper Exchange and Mart, Edward W Cox as part of his work on behalf of the London Dialectical Society. Founded in 1867 as an outlet for philosophical debate, the Society began its exploration of Spiritualist phenomena at the apex of the movement’s early popularity in the United Kingdom in 1869. Following the end of their work in 1871, Cox published this synopsis of their investigation and its conclusions, most notably that much of Spiritualist phenomena is real but misunderstood, coming not from the spirits of the dead but a more general, natural “psychic force”. This edition follows off of the original 1871 edition published in London by Longman & Co.
