INTRODUCTION.
POETIC JUSTICE OF THE EXPOSURE.
That the inventors of an infamous fraud should deal to it its death-blow, is the poetic justice of fate.
Over the creature, the creator has power of life and death.
The creators of Spiritualism abjure its infamy.
They decree its death.
They condemn it to final destruction.
They fasten upon those who continue to practice it the obloquy of history, and the scorn of mankind for all time to come.
Margaret and Catharine Fox, the youngest of three sisters, were the first to produce “spiritualistic manifestations.”
They are now the most earnest in denunciation of those impostures; the most eager to dissipate the foolish belief of thousands in the flimsiest system of deception that was ever cloaked with the hypocrisy of so-called religion.
