Abstract
THIS volume, which has reached its fifth impression in four months, is the record of a series of sittings with a Scottish ‘direct-voice’ medium. The author, who during his residence in Glasgow was a well-known business man, was fortunate in having secured a considerable number of sittings with this medium—an ordinary working man, by name John C. Sloan—who is said to possess the most marvellous powers. Not only is he clairvoyant and clairaudient, whatever these terms may mean, but also in his presence, and generally in darkness, voices are heard which purport to be those of deceased persons, voices which are recognised by their friends and relatives still alive, and give striking evidence of identity.
On the, Edge of the Etheric: being an Investigation of Psychic Phenomena based on a series of Sittings with Mr. John C. Sloan, the Glasgow Trance and Direct Voice Medium.
By J. Arthur Findly. Fifth impression. Pp.177. (London: Rider and Co., 1932.) 3s. 6d. net.
