ABSTRACT
The chief part of the first Report dealt with a series of experiments on thought-reading made at Buxton, with the young daughters of the Rev. A. M. Creery. The Committee felt it desirable / that the experiments with this family should be repeated elsewhere; and accordingly Mr. Myers invited the Committee to meet the Misses Creery at his house, Leckhampton, Cambridge, during the summer vacation. The experiments began on July 31st, 1882, and were continued day by day for ten days. The experiments were made with the three Miss Creerys, Mary, age 17; Alice, age 15; Maud, 13; and were varied in many ways. Anxiety to secure success on the part of the subject of experiment is nearly always fatal and always prejudicial, hence the little trepidation that exists when set trials are made, or trials before strangers, tells most unfavourably.
