Описание: A number of test s ances for spirit photography had been held with Mr. David Duguid, of which no records have been kept, but in April and May, 1892, four s ances were held under strict test conditions, notes of which were made at the time, and signed by the various persons who were present. These notes were printed for private circulation, and a copy was sent, with some of the photographs, to Mr. Frederic W. H. Myers, Cambridge, (Hon. Secretary Psychical Research Society). He suggested that when there was another opportunity for a test s ance, the presence of a "scientific man," and some one well acquainted with photographic manipulations, be got to attend to watch the experiments. One of the investigators induced Mr. Duguid to come to London to give a s ance under the strictest test conditions which could be devised; and Mr. J. Traill Taylor, Editor of the British Journal of Photography, by special request consented to take charge of the experiments, and to fix the conditions under which they should be made. Mr. Taylor combines in himself the special qualities named by Mr. Myers, inasmuch as he is a "scientific man," and an expert in photographic chemistry, optical research, and all photographic manipulations
