The following pages were in substance composedto be read before the Plymouth Lyceum,in 1829. When it was understood that Rev.Charles W. Upham was about to favor thepublic with a work on the same subject, it wasdetermined that this little performance should besuppressed. The Rev. Author observed in a letter,‘that although we may traverse the same field,it is highly probable that we pursue different tracks.The subject is so various, ample and abundant ininstruction, that good rather than evil would resultfrom the application of more than one mindto its discussion.’ Since therefore, in the deeplyinteresting work referred to, the learned author[Pg iv]has not particularly discussed the subjects ofGhosts, Apparitions, Mental Illusions, &c., theremay be no impropriety in submitting the followingimperfect production to the public, with the hopethat it will not be considered as altogether superfluous.
