tervals of considerable duration, and the belief in their lunacy is peculiar to a small school of writers. {69a} A crowd of phantom coaches will be found in Messrs. Myers and Gurney's Phantasms of the Living. {69b} See The Slaying of Sergeant Davies of Guise's. {70} Principles of Psychology, by Prof. James of Harvard, vol. ii., p. 612. Charcot is one of sixteen witnesses cited for the fact. {74} Story written by General Barter, 28th April, 1888. (S.P.R.) Corroborated by Mrs. Barter and Mr. Stewart, to whom General Barter told his adventure at the time. {75} Statement by Mr. F. G., confirmed by his father and brother, who were present when he told his tale first, in St. Louis. S.P.R. Proceedings, vol. vi., p. 17. {76} S.P.R., viii., p. 178. {77} Mrs. M. sent the memorandum to the S.P.R. "March 13, 1886. Have just seen visions on lawn--a soldier in general's uniform, a young lady kneeling to him, 11.40 p.m." {78} S.P.R., viii., p. 178. The real names are intentionally reserved. {80a} Corroborated by Mr. Elliot. Mrs. Elliot nearly fainted. S.P.R., viii., 344-345. {80b} Oddly enough, maniacs have many more hallucinations of hearing than of sight. In sane people the reverse is the case. {82} Anecdote by the lady. Boston Budget, 31st August, 1890. S.P.R., viii., 345. {85a} Tom Sawyer, Detective. {85b} Phantasms of the Living, by Gurney and Myers. {85c} The story is given by Mr. Mountford, one of the seers. {86} Journal of Medical Science, April, 1880, p. 151. {88} Catholic theology recognises, under the name of "Bilocation," the appearance of a person in one place when he is really in another. {91a} Phantasms, ii., pp. 671-677. {91b} Phantasms of the Living. {91c} Mr. E.

"The morning bright and calm" is lit by the rays of the moon. The woman (a Mrs. Gamp) must have rushed past Dr. Leslie.
