Spiritualism and Animal Magnetism.

By Professor G. G. ZERFFI, Ph.D. Second Edition. Crown 8vo
Price 1s. 6d.

"This is a very clever book. It disposes of Spiritualism pretty conclusively, and it gives expositions of Animal Magnetism in connection therewith that are, as far as they go, as convincing as such efforts well can be."- Church Herald.

"A few more such books as this excellent little treatise, and we shall have no more table-turning or spirit-rapping. Perhaps, before long, the force at which we now either ignorantly tremble, or with equal ignorance sneer, may be doing material work."- Land and Water.

"As far as Professor Zerffi renders a more rational account of spiritualism than those who are enthusiastically devoted to the study, the little book under notice is worthy attention."- Bath Journal.
