Item #61472 Obsession. or How Evils Spirits Influence Mortals. M. FARADAY.

Obsession. or How Evils Spirits Influence Mortals.

Mokelumne Hill, CA: Health Research, 1969. Fourth Edition. Softcover. 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches. 24pp. Stapled booklet. Original red textured wrappers with titling in black. Advertisments on inside of wrappers. A reprint of a curious late nineteenth century Spiritualist tract, (falsely) attributed to the English scientist Michael Faraday (1791-1867). Faraday, was renowned for his careful experimentation and subsequent insights into the relationship between electricity and magnetism, and was in fact highly critical of the public interest in mesmerism, seances, and spiritualism in general. Yet in this test, supposedly received by an unidentified medium (the pamphlet has a one page "Medium's Statement"), Faraday seemingly does a posthumous volte-face, and discourses upon life in the spirit world and in particular how some spirits come to obsess or posess mortals, and why. Covers lightly rubbed, original owner's name and address on inside of covers. Library pocket on inside back cover (no other library marks). Still, overall a VG+ copy. Item #61472

Price: $30.00
