The author of this booklet had proposed to give two public lectures on Spiritism. Having been prevented by circumstances independent of his will, it is these lectures that he publishes today. Addressing the unconvinced public, he successively examines the following questions: Is Spiritism a serious thing? – Do Spiritist studies present dangers? – Are these studies useful? – Are the phenomena possible? – Are they real? – What is the competent authority to take cognizance of the facts? We shall return to this interesting publication, which today we limit ourselves to pointing out.
