Excerpt from The Widow's Mite and Other Psychic Phenomena
Since the issue of the first edition of The Widow's Mite, Richard Hodgson died. Up to the time of his death, D'r. Hodgson was firmly convinced of the spiritistic interpretation of a portion of the phenomena. William James, for years recognized as the foremost psychologist in America, has also passed the Great Divide. While Professor James was not convinced beyond a doubt Of the spiritistic hypothesis, yet he declared, shortly before his death, that if he had to make a choice of explanations, he would be compelled to choose the spiritistic explanation as being the more reasonable. Prof. Cesare Lombroso, the famous criminologist Of Europe, in the last few years Of his life, was also fully convinced that these phenomena in part were Of spirit origin. Sir Oliver Lodge has recently borne similar testimony, at sundry times, as to his own convictions.

Excerpt from The Widow's Mite and Other Psychic Phenomena
A year ago a representative of a New York daily came to me with a proof slip of a story which he said his paper intended to print the next day, saying that the editor desired the proof corrected wherein it was in error. The story was entitled "The Finding of the Widow's Mite through the Spirit of Henry Ward Beecher," or something after that sort. The representative was told that the report contained many errors, and that its publication was premature, as there had been no opportunity to make any exhaustive examination of the facts involved. It was earnestly requested that the publication be postponed until after the completion of a full investigation.
The protest was in vain, and the story, as the newspaper had it, went to the public and around the world. To end the untimely discussion that followed, a note was sent to the press promising, if further exploitation of the incident was postponed, that when the investigation was ended a true version of the story would be given to the public.
This book is the fulfilment of that promise. In a sense it has not been hastily prepared, for it is a growth of a quarter of a century or so. Every book should be in a way a biography of the author, who progresses to a thought or point, and then gives a record of his travels hither. During the past twenty-five years I have devoted such time as could be spared from multifarious duties to the investigation of psychic phenomena - this has been a recreation - keeping a record of the more important things seen and heard.
