Excerpt from The Rappers: Or, the Mysteries, Fallacies, and Absurdities of Spirit-Rapping, Table-Tipping, and Entrancement
Ceaseless continuance. From morning until noon, from noon until night, and from night until morning again, in parlors where flashing mirrors reflect rosewood, and velvet, and silver, and gold; in humble rooms where the floors and walls are bare, the tables are placed, and around them, men and women, with their hands spread out, and eyes fixed as if on vacancy, are seated, wait ing for communications from the Spirit World.
