To Mrs. FISHER

Parkstone, Dorset. April 9, 1897.

My dear Mrs. Fisher¹, — I have tried several Reincarnation and Theosophical books, but cannot read them or take any interest in them. They are so purely imaginative, and do not seem to me rational. Many people are captivated by it — I think most people who like a grand, strange, complex theory of man and nature, given with authority — people who if religious would be Roman Catholics. Crookes gave a suggestive and interesting, but in some ways rather misleading address as President of the Psychical Research Society. I liked Oliver Lodge’s address to the Spiritualists’ Association better… — Yours very sincerely, | Alfred R. WALLACE.
