Excerpt from Confessions of a Medium IT is with feelings of exultation or pride that I view the publication of this work. The pictures of fraud and faith revealed in it are t pleasing; the first indicates the] depths to which a man may sink the second that though there are more generous people in the world, of whom the world has little or conception, it is easy for faith to degenerate to folly. I would infinitely prefer that the power to publish these records had never been given to me. I would rather that every fraud had been a fact, and every display of faith lost in a truthful sight.
