MYERS, FREDERIC WILLIAM HENRY. Human personality and its survival of bodily death. *$4 Longmans 133.9
“This well-known work first appeared about sixteen years ago in two volumes, each of about seven hundred pages in length. The text is here materially condensed, and most of the appendices, which occupied about half each volume and contained examples of phenomena analysed in the text, are omitted. A short biographical sketch of Myers is included.”—The Times [London] Lit Sup
“As Myers’ theory develops to include more and more unusual phenomena it preserves its persuasiveness and elasticity: Myers’ patient skill is indeed the most attractive feature of the book.” J. W. N. S.
