{{Style S-Small capitals|Sir,}}—The difficulties acknowledged by your correspondent “Trident” are due to his lack of knowledge—experimental or other—of the nature and method of spirit, and consequently of the constitution of man. To expound these in your columns would be both impossible and superfluous; impossible on account of the space requisite, and superfluous because already done in the work cited by me in my last letter, and since largely alluded to in your paper—viz., “The Perfect Way.” Of this book I can speak with confidence, since only by the statements in it have I been enabled to resolve the numerous perplexing problems of my own experience; and this in a manner so full and satisfactory as to leave nothing to be desired. And I can accordingly re-echo the surprise implied in Madame de Steiger’s letter, at the continuance in your columns of controversy on subjects already cleared up in that work. For it seems to shew that too many Spiritualists are more eager to write than to read, to teach than to learn.
