What reading level is Modern Spiritualism a History And a Criticism volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Granted that the ecstatic or hypnotic knows not what he does, and under- stands not what his hand indites, it does not follow that the action and the utterance are due to the promptings of an alien intelligence.
It has been shown, further, that the argument drawn from the involuntary nature of the subject's action has been reinforced by considerations of another kind. Those who have assisted at exhibitions of ecstasy, magnetic clairvoyance, or mediumistic trance, have, generation after generati...on, testified to the possession by the subject of supernormal powers of divining thoughts or perceiving things distant and things future. The mere existence of such a belief, descend- ing to modern times from a nebulous past, no doubt in itself proves little. Mystical philosophers have never been at a loss for facts to justify their speculations ; and in matters of this kind each man is apt to find what he seeks. Moreover, the 181 182 PROBLEMS OF MEDIUMSHIP constant stimulus of suggestion from the spectators, aided by the greater acuteness of the senses frequently experienced in the trance, furnishes a sufficient explanation of much that at the time may well have seemed inexplicable.
