Ghost Land or Research into the Mysteries of Occultism by Emma Hardinge Britten

Publication: 1897 Progressive Thinker Publishing House [FirstEdition?]

Errata slip tipped to title-page. Emma Hardinge Britten (1823-1899) was one of the most famous nineteenth century advocates of Spiritualism. She supposedly developed her psychic talents whilst employed by a secret quasi-Masonic fraternity as a medium whilst still a child. In adulthood she became one of six founding members of the Theosophical Society, and also founded an umbrella organisation for Spiritualist groups: the Spiritualists National Union. She wrote and edited a number of books, including “Ghost Land,” in which she relates the spiritualist and occult experiences and beliefs of an anonymous adept in a series of autobiographical sketches.
