The Death-Blow to Spiritualism Reuben Briggs Davenport

With the full consent of Margaret Fox-Kane and Catherine Fox-Jencken, the well-known Fox sisters, who originated the so-called spirit rappings, Mr. Reuben Briggs Davenport has produced " The Death-Blow to Spiritualism, ' giving a true account of their connection with the imposture. Both of these women now denounce spiritualism as founded on fraud, and have declared their intention to devote the remainder of their lives to undoing the evil they have committed. In pursuance of this resolve, Mrs. Kane told a New York audience the true story of the deception she had begun to practice more than forty years ago. Mr. Briggs's narrative is clear and forcible, and ought to carry conviction to every unprejudiced mind
