Experimental investigation of the spirit manifestations, [electronic resource] demonstrating the existence of spirits and their communion with mortals. Doctrine of the spirit world respecting heaven, hell, morality, and God. Also, the influence of Scripture on the morals of Christians
A mid-nineteenth-century Spiritualist treatise by the chemist Robert Hare, published in New York in 1855 by Partridge & Brittan, presenting apparatus-based experiments meant to prove communication with spirits to a general reading public. The pictures show laboratory-style devices, a seated sitter with a dial-marked wheel, and a timing or recording instrument, rendered as plain line engravings in a sober, instructional manner that a designer might draw on for scientific-apparatus diagrams and Victorian technical plates.
