MESSAGES FROM BEYOND
SPIRITUALISM AND SPIRITUALISTS IN MELBOURNE'S GOLDEN AGE
ALFRED J. GABAY
MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY PRESS $32.95
The spiritualist movement had its beginnings in the United States in the
late 1840s and within a few years had spread to Australia. With its
seances, mediums, trances, 'magnetisers', table-tilting and other
mysterious psychic phenomena, it attracted media frenzy and public furore,
bur also many serious converts - often highly intelligent and talented
people, who rejected orthodox religion in favour of scientific rationalism,
but were still vitally concerned with moral debates. One of them was the
young Alfred Deakin, later to become Prime Minister.
