Excerpt from The Physical Phenomena of Spiritualism: Fraudulent and Genuine; Being a Brief Account of the Most Important Historical Phenomena; A Criticism of Their Evidential Value, and a Complete Exposition of the Methods Employed in Fraudulently Reproducing the Same One or two words of a prefatory nature are necessitated by the publication of a book such as this. Many persons will doubtless consider it an unnecessary attack upon spiritualism and the spiritistic creed, but I beg to assure my readers that such is by no means the case. It is because I believe that such phenomena do occasionally occur, that I am anxious to expose the fraud connected with the subject, - since it is only by so doing that we can ever hope to reach the genuine phenomena which are to be studied. "Caution" is the most important factor in the investigation of all psychic and spiritualistic phenomena, and a knowledge of the fraudulent methods employed by mediums is of prime importance to the investigator of these problems. The investigations of the Society for Psychical Research (hereinafter referred to, in this book, as the S. P. R.) have demonstrated the fact that supernormal phenomena do occur; but whether the "physical phenomena" are to be considered as such is a question that remains still undecided. Certain it is that much fraud exists in the production of spurious "marvels" of the kind, and the chief object of this book is to expose in full the methods that are employed in fraudulently reproducing the genuine phenomena - if genuine phenomena there be.

The second reservation relates to the so~called Blue Book, mentioned on pp. 314-16. Subsequent investigations conducted both by Dr. Hyslop and by myself have led me to believe that the evidence for the existence of such a Blue Book is extremely doubtful - though something of the sort unquestionably existed. The last word upon this subject has not, however, as yet been said!
I offer this new edition of my book to the public with the hope, and in the firm conviction, that by clearing away many of the obstructions that exist - ~in the shape of fraudulent phenom ena - this book may help to lay the foundations of such a science - as Psychical Research.
