ANOTHER TRIBUTE.
JAMES HYSLOP.
By ALBERT J. EDMUNDS.
James Hyslop was the apostolic successor of Richard Hodgson.
Like him, a born fighter and a man of rugged truth, he
hated shams. Neither of them was· a stylist, but their work will
always be a quarry for the seeker after psychic facts.
Hyslop took up the great theme comparatively late in life, and ·
therefore had arrears to make up. Thus I found that he had
never read Swedenborg, but when I sent him a copy of Heaven
and Hell, he read it on the subway and began to quote it in his
writings. I once told him that when he wrote his book on the
Resurrection, he ought to have had a New Testament scholar at
his elbow.
I am much indebted to him for repdnting my full account of
psychic phenomena in the "X Libraty" in 1885, neglected by
Myers. At this distance of time it is no breach of propriety to
say that that library was on Commercial Street, Leeds.
