by practising the arts of spiritualists and conjurors on certain officials. The

which it was done, much to the amusement of the reader ; and one purpose of 



the work is really to expose this form of imposition, the prevalence of which in 



Anglo-Saxon countries tends to lead foreigners to believe that we are as 



superstitious to-day as we were in the Middle Ages.
