'Twixt two worlds : a narrative of the life and work of William Eglinton

Early Professional Mediumship.
As showing the impression being made upon the public—especially the critical expert
investigators— it is pleasing to read in the Spiritualist of May 12th, 1876, that "the test
manifestations with Mr. Eglinton are of great value, not because other mediums may not
obtain equally conclusive results, but because, in his case, they have been observed and
recorded by good critical witnesses, whose testimony will carry weight with the public ;
all mediums should seek to get their test results thus verified." How strong and conclusive
the testimony in regard to Mr. Eglinton's mediumship was, to which the editor here refers,
will be seen when I come to deal with the general results of these experimental seances of
Mr. Blackburn's.
