Pike’s “Life’s Borderlands and Beyond” is a number of anecdotal and evidentiary cases, collected by R. Pike as well as other scholars such as Sir William Barrett and the various Socieites for Psychical Research. Although his work is often lesser-known, his collection provides great insight into late-Victorian Spiritualism and various other paranormal/psychical scholarship.
Beyond the Sunrise: Observations of Two Travellers (1883)
By: Laura C. Holloway
The subjects treated in this volume, which is the production of two well known American writers, are Psychology, Clairvoyance, and Theosophy. In the form of sketches they outline the philosophy of Psychology, and relate phenomena wholly outside of, and apart from Spiritualism, with which it is associated in the popular mind in this country. These two writers have much to say regarding Occultism and Theosophy; and, in a word, discuss the science of the soul in all its bearings. No more intereting book has ever appeared on these subjects. Much personal experience, which is always interesting, is given in its pages; and the authors…have had remarkable results in their study of Spiritualism and Clairvoyancy, and are adepts in Psychological researches.
From all the varied avenues in which they have worked so perseveringly, they have brought together a highly gratifying mass of material. The volume is one in which agnostics, spiritualists, orthodox, and scientific minds generally, will be deeply interested; and it is written in so earnest and frank a spirit, and in language so clear and graceful, that “Beyond the Sunrise,” will win a welcome in every household. It will give good cheer and inspiration wherever it is read.”
