Although spiritualist philosopher and publisher Hudson Tuttle (1836-1910) did alter edition and imprint information upon the book's title page between editions, he evidently did not alter the 1900 publishing date upon various editions' copyright pages. As the first edition of MEDIUMSHIP AND ITS LAWS was published in 1900, this seventeenth edition was obviously published several years afterwards. As the Tuttle title list on the aforementioned rear leaf does not cite his 1906 book EVOLUTION OF THE GOD AND CHRIST IDEAS nor his 1907 book A GOLDEN SHEAF, it seems probable that this copy may predate 1906.
