How to thought-read : a manual of instruction in the strange and mystic in daily life, psychic phenomena, including hypnotic, mesmeric and psychic states, mind and muscle reading, thought transference, psychometry, clairvoyance, and phenomenal spiritualism / by James Coates.
James Coates's 1893 London manual from Hay Nisbet explains thought-reading, mind reading and spiritualist phenomena to general readers interested in the occult. Its pictures are rough line diagrams of simple objects such as a chair and a numbered board, plus a small woodcut-style scene of two men at a numbered panel before seated observers, giving a designer a plain, hand-drawn schematic look built from bold strokes.
