Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rappers: Or, the Mysteries, Fallacies, and Absurdities of Spirit-Rapping, Table-Tipping, and Entrancement In presenting to the public this volume on the subject of "Modern Spiritualism," as it is called, the author has only a few words to say. He made the series of visits among the "Rappers," comprised in Book I, with the single purpose of seeing and testing the nature of the "wonderful spirit manifestations" alleged to proceed from tables and entranced persons, and he has written down faithfully and truly all that he saw and heard. He has purposely mingled some pleasantry in his descriptions, but has never suffered that pleasantry to falsify a single word or manifestation alleged to have been uttered or exhibited by a spirit. As the table tipped, or as the raps came, he has described it, and as the alphabet or the entranced medium spoke, he has given it word for word.
