CROCKETT, ALBERT STEVENS. Revelations of Louise. il *$2.75 (6½c) Stokes 134
20–19174
The book records the circumstances of the loss of a beloved daughter and of the parents’ communications with her from the spirit world. Previous to the occurrences described, the author avows, he had been a decided skeptic on the subject of spirits. The communications came by way of the ouija board, table tippings, levitations and materializations, all through non-professional means. Long conversations with Louise are recorded. Among the contents are: Through the board; Spirit dogs, and another: The festival of spirits—writing; The table that talked; On guides and “power”; Manifestations; Good spirits and bad—the chart; How levitation is done; Spirit audiences and performers; Spirits and human nature; The seven spirit planes—and some ancient American history; Levitation extraordinary.
“The chief interest of the book lies in the detail and accuracy of Mr Crockett’s observations, and what new evidence he can bring to the case.”

“The book has an interest wholly apart from the question of possible dealings with the world beyond, in that it presents a vivid picture of a charming and lovable girl, who is sweet and natural and unchanged on either side of the veil.”
