This hard to find book from 1891, collects some of the writings of Lionel Weatherly and John Nevil Maskelyne on the supernatural. With a striking frontispiece of Maskelyne appearing as a spirit to Weatherly still present. The Maskelyne chapters cover Oriental Magic, Spiritualism and Theosophy.  A rare book of great interest to those studying the history of magic and Maskelyne's crusade against the spiritualists.
