ABSTRACT
The present state of scientific opinion throughout the world is not only hostile to any belief in the possibility of transmitting a single mental concept, except through the ordinary channels of sensation, but, generally speaking, it is hostile even to any inquiry upon the matter. Every leading physiologist and psychologist down to the present time has relegated what, for want of a better term, has been called “Thought-reading” to the limbo of exploded fallacies. Mr. Bishop’s and Mr. Stuart Cumberland’s performances are in some respects identical with those exhibited, some years past, by a Mr. Corey and others, in America.
