ABSTRACT
“Telepathy” is a new name, but many of the phenomena it represents have in one form or another long been known to psychological students. It may be said to be a generalized expression for the phenomena of mesmerism, of hypnotism, and of other abnormal or supernormal conditions of the human consciousness apparently produced through the influence of an external consciousness and independently of the recognized channels of sense. The phantasms appear to resolve themselves into cases of intensified telepathy wherever the accompanying conditions can be adequately observed and verified; but in the large majority of cases they so completely elude analysis and observation that no safe conclusions can be drawn from them.
