Mr. Editor, | |||
On March 25th the scientific Commission formed to investigate psychic phenomena made its report public and a month later on April 24th and 25th Professor Mendeleev delivered two lectures on Spiritism. For lack of approving reviews of the Commission, Mr. Mendeleev himself took the trouble to say a laudatory word about its activities. During the last lecture he expressed the thought, that in the report of the Commission the truth speaks with irresistible force, and society, illumined by it, involuntarily bowed before the verdict of science. But the honourable lecturer is mistaken. The attached protest, signed by one hundred and thirty persons, testifies that in our society, contrary to the opinion of Mr. Mendeleev, there are quite a few people who distinguish science from the Commission. | On March 25th the scientific Commission formed to investigate psychic phenomena made its report public and a month later on April 24th and 25th Professor Mendeleev delivered two lectures on Spiritism.
