o pains in his
researches, giving a great number of facts and cases to illustrate
his philosophy. The volume will be much sought for, as it is really
a desideratum in the world of literature. We know of no work on this
subject which lays the same just claim to public attention, or the
study of the philosopher.--_Christian Advocate and Journal._

The volume before us is both instructive and amusing, and at this
particular time, when the extremes of superstition and philosophy have
shaken hands, it will be likely to effect an inconceivable amount of
good, if properly studied. It is one of the most remarkable productions
of the day, and must create an extraordinary degree of interest in
the public mind.--_Merchant's Magazine._

It belongs to that class of writings which you can take up and put down
at pleasure, and which may be subjected to repeated readings. The work
is pleasant, however, in spite of this--pleasant because of its facts,
its numerous details of mystery, its vast collection of anecdote, its
developments of _diablerie_, its tidings from the spiritual world,
and the many cases which it brings together of the curious and the
wonderful in nature and art, which former ages, and ignorance and
superstition, have concluded to consider supernatural. Where science
and modern speculation furnish the solution to the mystery, Mr. Dendy
couples it with the statements, and the book is thus equally valuable
and amusing.--_Charleston Transcript_.

Here lies a remarkable work; beautiful in its style, and wondrous
in its matter. The work is strictly philosophical in its tendency,
yet more amusing than a novel.--_True American_.

This is a book for the lovers of marvels and of mysteries. It
contains an immense collection of anecdotes of spectral apparitions,
of illusions of vision or of hearing, of striking phenomena exhibited
in dreams, in insanity, in trance, or in magnetism, and furnishes
many very valuable hints to aid in the solution of these mysteries,
by which so many have been bewildered or affrighted. It is written
in a style of great ease and elegance, and can not fail to find a
very wide circle of welcoming readers.--_Albion_.

This unique and remarkable book has just been placed on our table;
we know its reputation of old; it is an admirable discourse on the
subject of supernaturalisms, such as mental illusions, dreams, ghosts,
mesmeric phenomena, &c. If any one will but read the first half dozen
pages, we wi
