Written by the Irish journalist and politician Windham Thomas Wyndham-Quin, Lord Adare [tel], who befriended Home in 1867, the book records Adare's observations of seventy-eight spiritualist sittings over two years, and reports verbatim the conversations between Home and the spirits with whom he was allegedly in contact. Adare also describes Home's supernatural interactions away from the formal setting of a sance. The accounts were originally writ.
