The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 13

[introduction]

The Second Convention of the British Association of Progressive Spiritualists was held in Bell's Crown Temperance Hotel, Clayton Street, Newcastle-on-Tyne, on Wednesday and Thursday, July 25 and 26, 1866. On the previous evening, many of the members had arrived, but it was rather late on Wednesday morning before business could commence, on account of the hour at which the various trains came in. The attendance was more numerous than at the first Convention, and to give a list of them would occupy too much space. The following selections, however, will give some idea of the extent of territory represented:—Newcastle-on-Tyne: Mr James Carpenter, Dr M'Leod, Mrs M'Leod, and Miss M'Leod, Mr Job Sutcliff, Mr Paterson, &c. Darlington: Mr and Mrs Hodge, Mr and Mrs Dixon, Mr Thomas Watson, Mr Richmond, &c. Huddersfield: Miss Chapman, Miss Alstone, Thomas Etchells, Esq., &c. London: Mr and Mrs Spear, J. Bums, Progressive Library, Mr W. C. Butterwick, Mr Pilborough and Mr Champernown, Kingston-on-Thames, S.W., &c. James Colthurst, Esq, Cork, Ireland; Mr and Mrs Dennis, Carlisle; Edwin Harrison Green, Esq., Marsh House, Brotherton, South Yorkshire. Hartlepool: Mr and Mrs Cowley, Mr Gregory. Mr Jones, Bradford-on-Avon; Mr Heslop, Bradford, Yorkshire; Mr Lister, York; Mr Catherall, Hexham, &c., &c.
