Hugh Junor Browne (1829-1905) was a well-known Melbourne (Australia) Spiritualist lecturer who made his fortune as a distiller. The Scots-born Browne was the son of a minister of the Church of Scotland. He had an adventurous and varied life, but showed no interest in Spiritualism until his fortieth year, when he started attending lectures of the Association of Progressive Spiritualists, although he did not embrace it full until he attended a seance held by Charles Henry Foster, a visiting American medium in 1874, when he believed he made contact with his dead father. Browne then devoted much of his energy to Spiritualism, and held numerous seances, at one of which Shakespeare is said to have communicated, and was an active propagandist for the Spiritualist cause. This article is reprinted from 'The Two Worlds.' From the collection of Dr. M. H. Coleman, although not marked as such.
