Evidence: | 'With Cockerell to Parkstone to see Alfred Russel Wallace, the Grand Old Man of Science ... He complimented me on my pamphlet, "The Shame of the XIXth Century" and expressed strong views on the pauperization of India. There was a number of the paper "Light" lying on his table, and I asked him if he still adhered to his belief in spiritualism, and he said very postively that he had not receded from it in the smallest degree.' |
