THE
NIGHT-SIDE OF NATURE;
OR,
GHOSTS AND GHOST-SEERS.
BY CATHERINE CROWE,
AUTHOR OF “SUSAN HOPLEY,” “LILLY DAWSON,” ETC.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
This book treats of allegorical dreams, presentiments, trances, apparitions,
troubled spirits, haunted houses, etc., and will be read with interest by many
because it comes from a source laying claim to considerable talent, and is
written by one who really believes all she says, and urges her reasonings with
a good deal of earnestness.
—Albany Argus.
It embraces a vast collection of marvellous and supernatural stories of supernatural
occurrences out of the ordinary course of events.
—N. Y. Globe.
Miss Crowe has proved herself a careful and most industrious compiler.
She has gathered materials from antiquity and from modern times, and gives
to English and American readers the ghost-stories that used to frighten the
young ones of Greece and Rome, as well as those that accomplish a similar
end in Germany and other countries of modern Europe.
—Phila. Bulletin.
It is written in a philosophical spirit.
—Philadelphia Courier.
This queer volume has excited considerable attention in England. It is not
a catchpenny affair, but is an intelligent inquiry into the asserted facts respecting
ghosts and apparitions, and a psychological discussion upon the reasonableness
of a belief in their existence.
—Boston Post.
In this remarkable work, Miss Crowe, who writes with the vigor and grace
of a woman of strong sense and high cultivation, collects the most remarkable
and best authenticated accounts, traditional and recorded, of preternatural visitations
and appearances.
—Boston Transcript.
This is a copious chronicle of what we are compelled to believe authentic
instances of communication between the material and spiritual world. It is
written in a clear, vigorous, and fresh style, and keeps the reader in a constant
excitement, yet without resorting to claptrap.
—Day-Book.
The book is filled with facts, which are not to be disputed except by actual
proof. They have long been undisputed before the world. The class of facts
are mainly of a kind thought by most persons to be “mysterious;” but there
will be found much in the book calculated to throw light upon the heretofore
mysterious phenomena.
—Providence Mirror.
This book is one which appears in a very opportune time to command attention,
and should be read by all who are desirous of information in regard
to things generally called mysterious, relating to the manifestations of the
spirit out of man and in him.
—Traveller.
This is not only a curious but also a very able work. It is one of the
most interesting books of the season—albeit the reader's hair will occasionally
rise on end as he turns over the pages, especially if he reads alone far into
the night.
—Zion's Herald.
A very appropriate work for these days of mysterious rappings, but one
which shows that the author has given the subjects upon which she treats
considerable study, and imparts the knowledge derived in a concise manner.
—Boston Evening Gazette.
This is undoubtedly the most remarkable book of the month, and can not
fail to interest all classes of people.
—Water-Cure Journal.
To the lovers of the strange and mysterious in nature, this volume will possess
an attractive interest.
—N. Y. Truth-Teller.
The lovers of the marvellous will delight in its perusal..
—Com. Advertiser
