Description:

In 1905, R. J. Lees penned a Preface to his book saying: “Of the subjects discussed herein it must be left to deeper minds than my own to express any opinion. Whoever reads will find that it treats of some of life’s great mysteries with a frank familiarity and certain composure which suggests more than speculation, and to my mind the harmonious completion towards which every various subject is found to contribute its individual part, savors more of truth than otherwise. But I may be prejudiced in my opinion by the reverent affection my ‘visitors from the other side’ inspire in their more than human tenderness and consideration for my many shortcomings, therefore I will leave any suggestion as to its relative value as a revelation to minds better qualified to judge. I send the book forth as the joint effort of hands clasped across the tomb, hoping by the blessing of God that it may be the means of helping many homeward.”
