of calm philosophers。 Belief in spiritual knockings�察 �in all manner of
American places�察�and�察�among others�察�in the house of ;a Doctor Phelps at
Stratford�察 �Connecticut�察 �a man of the highest character for intelligence;�察�
says Mr。 Howitt�察�and to whom we willingly concede the possession of far
higher intelligence than was displayed by his spiritual knocker�察 �in
;frequently cutting to pieces the clothes of one of his boys;�察 �and in
breaking ;seventy´one panes of glass;unless�察�indeed�察�the knocker�察�when
in the body�察 �was connected with the tailoring and glazing interests。
Belief in immaterial performers playing ��in the dark though�此 �they are
obstinate about its being in the dark�� on material instruments of wood�察�
catgut�察�brass�察�tin�察�and parchment。 Your belief is further requested in ;the
Kentucky Jerks;。 The spiritual achievements thus euphoniously
denominated ;appear;�察�says Mr。 Howitt�察 �to have been of a very disorderly
kind;。 It appears that a certain Mr。 Doke�察�a Presbyterian clergyman�察 �was
first seized by the jerks;�察 �and the jerks laid hold of Mr。 Doke in that
unclerical way and with that scant respect for his cloth�察�that they ;twitched
him about in a most extraordinary manner�察�often when in the pulpit�察�and
caused him to shout aloud�察 �and run out of the pulpit into the woods�察�
screaming like a madman。 When the fit was over�察�he returned calmly to
his pulpit and finished the service。; The congregation having waited�察�we
presume�察 �and edified themselves with the distant bellowings of Doke in
the woods�察 �until he came back again�察 �a little warm and hoarse�察 �but
otherwise in fine condition。 ;People were often seized at hotels�察 �and at
table would�察�on lifting a glass to drink�察�jerk the liquor to the ceiling�察�ladies
would at the breakfast´table suddenly be compelled to throw aloft their
coffee�察�and frequently break the cup and saucer。; A certain venturesome
clergyman vowed that he would preach down the Jerks�察 �but he was seized
in the midst of his attempt�察 �and made so ridiculous that he withdrew
himself from further notice;an example much to be commended。 That
same favoured land of America has been particularly favoured in the
development of ;innumerable mediums;�察 �and Mr。 Howitt orders you to
believe in Daniel Dunglas Home�察�Andrew Davis Jackson�察�and Thomas L。
Harris�察�as ;the three most remarkable�察�or most familiar�察�on this side of the
Atlantic;。 Concerning Mr。 Home�察�the articles of belief ��besides removal

of furniture�� are�察 �That through him raps have been given and
communications made from deceased friends。 That ;his hand has been
seized by spirit influence�察 �and rapid communications written out�察 �of a
surprising character to those to whom they were addressed;。 That at his
bidding�察 �spirit hands have appeared which have been seen�察 �felt�察 �and
recognised frequently�察�by persons present�察�as those of deceased friends;。
That he has been frequently lifted up and carried�察 �floating ;as it were;
through a room�察�near the ceiling。 That in America�察 �all these phenomena
have displayed themselves in greater force than here;which we have not
the slightest doubt of。 That he is ;the planter of spiritualism all over
Europe;。 That ;by circumstances that no man could have devised�察 �he
became the guest of the Emperor of the French�察�of the King of Holland�察�of
the Czar of Russia�察�and of many lesser princes;。 That he returned from
;this unpremeditated missionary tour;�察 �endowed with competence;�察 �but
not before�察 �at the Tuileries�察�on one occasion when the emperor�察�empress�察�
a distinguished lady�察 �and himself only were sitting at table�察 �a hand
appeared�察�took up a pen�察�and wrote�察�in a strong and well´known character�察�
the word Napoleon。 The hand was then successively presented to the
several personages of the party to kiss。; The stout believer�察 �having
disposed of Mr。 Home�察�and rested a little�察�will then proceed to believe in
Andrew Davis Jackson�察�or Andrew Jackson Davis ��Mr。 Howitt�察�having no
Medium at hand to settle this difference and reveal the right name of the
seer�察 �calls him by both names���察 �who merely ;beheld all the essential
natures of things�察�saw the interior of men and animals�察�as perfectly as their
exterior�察 �and described them in language so correct�察 �that the most able
technologists could not surpass him。 He pointed out the proper remedies
for all the complaints�察�and the shops where they were to be obtained;��in
the latter respect appearing to hail from an advertising circle�察 �as we
conceive。 It was also in this gentleman's limited department to ;see the
metals in the earth;�察 �and to have ;the most distant regions and their
various productions present before him;。 Having despatched this tough
case�察�the believer will pass on to Thomas L。 Harris�察�and will swallow HIM
easily�察�together with ;whole epics; of his composition�察�a certain work ;of
scarcely less than Miltonic grandeur;�察�called The Lyric of the Golden Age´
