Description: Cincinnati, OH: No Publisher Listed, 1860. 1st American Edition. Hardcover. This is a small format hardback book. The book is in Good condition and was likely issued without a dust jacket. The spine ends and corners of the book covers have bumping, rubbing and fraying. The book has spots of denting , ground-in dirt and small patches of spotting. The top edge of the front cover has nibblings from some sort of rodentia. The inside covers have wrinkling to the pastedown pages. The text pages are generally clean and bright, though there is tidemarking and foxing throughout. "Cooper began it ( The Spiritual Times) to oppose the ridicule and contempt that the secular press expressed toward spiritualism. He had started out as a self-described "secularist" and a firebrand with the courage of his convictions. He met Powell in 1862, and the two of them explored spiritualism, became enthusiastic about the spirits, and proceeded to tour the provinces, lecturing in the face of violent opposition. Powell (1830-1872) had had a Dickens-like youth and early manhood, trying to make a living in a variety of trades and acting as a bookseller and maker of poems. In 1860 he published the Domestic Magazine (5-6 issues) that featured his fiction. The same year, after reading an account of D. D. Home's phenomena, he ventured to London and through the help of his old friend T. S. Shorter met the writing medium Dr. Dixon and also met Cooper. About 1865 the two started the Spiritual Lyceum in London, to whose offices this journal was eventually moved -- all at Cooper's expense." (from IAPSOP). Good .
