The ''Journal of Science'' has now completed a candid and temperate notice of Mr. Sinnett’s ''Occult World.'' The writer deals with the evidences of extraordinary power, such as the creation of the cup and saucer at Simla by Madame Blavatsky, fairly and in a judicial spirit. He considers that the narrative must be accepted as a record substantially accurate of a real occurrence. He puts aside the supposition of an elaborate fraud as “literally bristling with difficulties,” and arrives at the conclusion that “the cup and saucer were produced in the earth where found, by an agency to us inconceivable.” This is a startling concession when it is considered from what quarter it comes. We are so accustomed to find the inexplicable or the unexplained treated by open science as the impossible, especially in the case of psychical phenomena, that this candid consideration of an antecedently incredible statement is as startling as it is welcome. | The ''Journal of Science'' has now completed a candid and temperate notice of Mr. Sinnett’s ''Occult World.''
