SPIRITUALISM

Publishing Committee · Battle Creek, Mich. · Feb 21, 1856

A correspondent of the Cambridge (Mass.) Chronicle, writing upon this subject, says, "One or two of the Harvard professors, as well as a large number of the most respectable citizens of Cambridge have become deeply interested in this remarkable phenomenon, and have listened with amazement to scientific and theological discourses, purporting to be inspired by Franklin, Watts, and other illustrious minds." One of the professors here alluded to is probably Henry W. Longfellow. It is also stated that Rev. Mr. Mountford, Rev. Dr. Parker, Judge Philips, Peter Harvy, Esq., Alvin Adams, Esq., and other well-known citizens, are investigating the subject.
