Raymond; or, Life and Death / With examples of the evidence for survival of memory and affection after death.

The first section memorializes the author's son who died in the Great War through personal reminiscences and letters that convey daily life at the front. The second collects alleged posthumous communications, including sittings, automatic writing, table experiments, group photographs, and cross-correspondences offered as evidence of survival. The third presents analytical essays that examine meanings of life and death, the relation of mind and brain, mechanisms and credibility of psychic communication, and wider metaphysical implications, concluding with reflections on religious belief and an open scientific attitude toward continued personal existence.
