	The lectures of Mrs. Tappan are pleasant reading; her discourse in the name of Theodore Parker, is both eloquent and interesting; but in all her efforts we perceive her own powers and peculiarities, very little modified by the name which she possesses to represent. The range of Parker's thought was not so different from her own, and she makes a much better personation of Parker than of Mapes. Nor should our satisfaction be diminished in recognizing that, as dramatic clairvoyance, which some prefer to accept as a supernal utterance.

	The most meritorious portion of the lecture, as a matter of science, is the speculation as to force being the reality of substance. The idea is not clearly expressed however, and it is one which was fully illustrated by Boscorich, and has long been current among speculative minds.

The idea is not clearly expressed however, and it is one which was fully illustrated by Boscorich, and has long been current among speculative minds.

	Without looking further at the intellectual defects of the lecture, we perceive clearly that it is impossible that the lecture, as a whole, should have proceeded from the mind of Prof. Mapes ; it is simply possible that he may have inspired a portion of it ; but there is nothing in it beyond the power of dramatic clairvoyance. Indeed, it is quite certain that if Mrs. T. possessed a better disciplined and more scientific mind, she might have made a much better approximation to a lecture by Prof. Mapes ; one that would have been considered quite convincing and satisfactory as evidence of his personal expression, by ninety-nine hundredth of his hearers.

	No such literature as this will command the respect, or even attract the attention of scientific minds. Its pleasing and evanescent impression on a popular audience, as its highest utility, and the unthinking acceptance by Spiritualists of the brilliant displays of dramatic clairvoyance as reliable messages from the spirit-world, tends to build up superstition rather than philosophy.

Lord Byron says :—
{{Style P-Poem|poem=“ I merely mean to say what Johnson said,
: That in the course of some six thousand years
All nations have believed that from the dead
: A visitant at intervals appears;
And what is strangest upon this strange head
: Is, that whatever bar the reason rears
’Gainst such belief, there’s something stronger still
: In its behalf, let those deny who will.”}}

Alfred Tennyson says :—
{{Style P-Poem|poem=“How pure at heart and sound in head,
: With what Divine affections bold,
: Should be the man whose thoughts would hold
An hour’s communion with the dead!”}}
