DEDICATED TO HENRY SIDGWICK AND EDMUND GURNEY




NEARLY four years have elapsed since the first appearance of my Father's book Human Personality and its Survival of Bodily Death. It cost two guineas and was published in two volumes, each of which was little under 700 pages in length.
The price and dimensions of such a work made the future issue of a more popular edition not improbable. Indeed, my Father himself indicated briefly the lines on which an abridgment could best be made. In accordance with his indications I have endeavoured to keep as closely as possible to the original scheme and construction of the book.
