Some parts of Mrs. Showers’s interesting letter are a little puzzling. “I am thankful,” she says, “to ‘S. W.’ for giving me the opportunity of stating openly that Spiritualists are gone rather too far in assuming, in my opinion, that the fact of materialisation has as yet been scientifically established. A very superficial survey [too superficial, I fear] will unveil the fact that, though much was asserted, nothing was ever scientifically proven.” Such an opinion, pronounced by a lady of so much reading and experience on the subject, cannot but be startling to some of us. But she proceeds: “For my part, ''but for that which I have witnessed in my own family'', I would still be of the opinion I have expressed to Mr. Serjeant Cox in 1874, and which, ''fortunately for me now'', he was good enough to publish in the ''Medium'' and ''Spiritualist''—viz., that the so-called materialised form is but the medium entranced.” (The italics in each case are mine.) | Some parts of Mrs. Showers’s interesting letter are a little puzzling. “I am thankful,” she says, “to ‘S.
