The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 3a

Sensational Experiences of Eminent Scientists

Sensational Experiences of Eminent Scientists.

We will now proceed to inquire into the nature of the phenomena which have created such a sensation in Scientific circles, and which have transformed so many Materialist Scientists into believers in the immortality of the soul. I have taken the particulars from the published works of the Scientists quoted and from The Annals of Psychical Science, the latter being described on the cover as "a monthly journal devoted to critical and experimental research in metaphysical phenomena," and bearing the following names of a Committee of Supervision : Sir William Crookes, Camille Flammarion, Professor Caesar Lombroso, Dr. Joseph Maxwell, Professor Morselli, Mareel Mangin, Dr. Julien Ochorowitz, Professor Francpois Porro, Colonel de Rochas, Dr. A. Von Schrenck-Notzing, and W. T. Stead. The editor of the French edition is Professor Caesar de Vesme, and of the English edition, Mrs. Laura I. Finch; and the Directors are Dr. Dariex and Professor Charles Richet. That which I relate therefore, is official, written by the authorities quoted themselves, and I will reproduce their actual phraseology as faithfully as this summarised version will allow.
