Abstract
MRS. HUME begins with a curious and rather inco herent theory respecting the “Trinity of Man” (Matter, Intelligence, Force; or, in another aspect, Reason, Intuition, and Soul), but she becomes decidedly interesting when she proceeds to describe her own experiences. These have been visions, dreams, or other phenomena by which a warning of an impending event—e.g. the death of a friend at a distance—has been conveyed. The agency is believed jy the author to be her own subconscious self, which possesses clairvoyant and other powers. The theory propounded closely approaches that of the leading in vestigators in these domains, but we would suggest that the terminology of Myers is preferable to that of T. J. Hudson, who, moreover, is an unsafe guide, being apt to rear a large structure of theory on a small or insecure foundation of fact. The book is well written and nicely got up.
