He also traveled extensively in Europe and other places picking up his further beliefs as he went along. Soon enough he was referring to himself as a “Shepherd of Vermont and California†“Indian Healer†“Doctor of Magnetism†and “Medical Doctor.†He soon began to claim that he could channel Washington and Lincoln among many others. "He also associated with and befriended a spirit artist Wella P. Anderson and his wife Lizzie “Pet†Anderson a medium who worked in New York City and Oakland California.

Near fine. <br /> <br /> An interesting and attractive Bangor imprint being a metaphysical tract by lawyer and writer Albert Ware Paine 1812-1907. A short review in The Literary World from 1884 describes the premise of the work:<br /> <br /> "His new philosophy is simply the theory that the spirits of the dead are living about us on every side; having this earth as their local habitation and yet not being trammeled by the limitations of space and time; influencing the living in a myriad ways for good and evil. By this influence he thinks all that is mysterious in human nature necromancy witchcraft dreams second-sight clairvoyance hypnotism genius insanity faith-cures etc. etc. can be explained."<br /> <br /> <br /> This copy inscribed to a Miss. A.E. Scammon of Chicago whom we find mentioned in various religious journals from the time as being chair of the women's committee of the New Jerusalem Church Congress. An intriguing presentation copy. <br /> <br /> <br /> . O.F. Knowles & Co., Printers unknown
