- OR 



The Death-Surviving Consciousness of Man. 

 By FRED G. SHAW, F.G.S. 



This work has been graciously accepted by Her Majesty the Queen. 



The Queenzlander, July 6th, 1912. " This is one of the most powerful 

 works on religion published in recent years. For many years Mr. Shaw was a 

 resident of this State, and a quarter of a century ago how time flies he 

 was one of the best known men in Brisbane, in athletic, social, and intellectual 

 circles. Since that date he has written many works which are well known 

 in the world scientific, political, and economic works, which have made 

 his name famous. . . . It is more interesting still to follow the author 

 as he not only seriously, but logically, stands up in his own characteristic 

 fashion for principles which are too often flouted, for religion as a basic 

 element of life and for the revelation of that religion as something capable 

 of controversial justification. . . . These are the lines followed by this 

 powerful work and it will be a great help to those whose beliefs are exposed, 

 as he puts it, to the cold and material criticism of atheism, and to those who 

 are anxious for some proof that the grave is not the end of conscious being." 



Daily News, ^oth April, 1912 : . . . " It is the work of a keen 

 intelligence, and is marked by general clearness of expression, wealth of 

 example and obvious sincerity." 



The Aberdeen Journal, loth May, 1912. "The author gives evidence of 

 wide reading and independent thought. It must be gratefully acknowledged 

 that the writer's aims and motives are of the best, and that his information 

 is amazingly extensive. . , ." 



Newcastle Chronicle, jth June, 1912. " It is a book that is distinguished 

 by the sincerity of every page, and by the immense amount of care, etc., 



The Western Morning News, -$rd August, 1912. ..." The whole 

 argument is exceedingly clever and well worked out." 



Publishers' 1 Circular, zoth July, 1912. " Mr. Shaw's very able and convincing 

 book on the ' death surviving consciousness of man ' exhibits a great amount 

 of well-ordered knowledge. ... It is the comprehensiveness of the 

 book which makes it valuable, and the practical application of the author's 

 philosophy is stimulating and forceful." 



1 'he Occult Review, July, 1912. . . . " The higher mental phenomena, 

 telepathy, sleep, and somnambulism are in turn made to yield their quota 

 in evidence of that soul that transcends the perishable concrete of mind. 



" In a brief review one cannot do justice to this fine piece of work, but the 

 student of psychology may remedy my defect and vastly improve his time by 

 getting the book and reading it carefully. I warrant he will have a good 

 time." 



PERSONAL LETTERS. 



2 is/ March, 1912. 



" Let me say again it is the only book on any subject of this kind that I 

 have ever had the inclination to persevere with and read from cover to cover. 

 I think it should undoubtedly be of real value to very many, if only it gets 

 into their hands. The main argument for the separate existence and im- 

 mortality of the soul seems to me to be convincing and certainly reassuring."
