| Thomas Shorter's 1867 Spiritualist Bibliography | |
|
In 1867, Thomas Shorter --- a prolific writer on, and promoter of, Modern Spiritualism, and a largely self-educated man, published his bibliography of Moderm Spiritualism in The Spiritual Magazine. This is an excerpt from that bibliography, with live pointers to many of the works Shorter believed, in 1867, were essential to an understanding of Modern Spiritualism. Shorter's bibliography is, as far as is known, the first attempt to construct a canon of Modern Spiritualism's works. Shorter's bibliography has not, in this version, been modified or corrected. If no link is available, then no online text is known to exist. Contributions to complete the bibliography are welcome. |

About one hundred periodicals have been devoted wholly or in part to the propagation and exposition of Spiritualism, most of which were designed to have only a temporary mission. More than five hundred books and pamphlets have been circulated, and many of them are still having an extensive sale. " --- Plain Guide to Spiritualism, by Uriah Clark, 1863.
That Modern Spiritualism "has a literature of its own" is admitted even by its adverse critics. The above extract (which refers to the books and periodicals of this class published in America alone,) and this catalogue, (though imperfect) will in some measure indicate its extent. I expected to have made this part of my " Bibliography," especially the list of " Articles and Reviews," more nearly complete; but have been unable to carry out fully the researches I had begun for this purpose. Many works by Spiritualists and others that have grown out of the present Spiritual movement, yet as being only indirectly or very partially connected with Spiritualism, I have not included. I had hoped one day to have written a work on Modern Spiritualism, its History and its Literature; and to which my previous book --- The Two Worlds, might have served as an introduction. This task, however, I must leave to other hands, but it will be a satisfaction to me should this catalogue prove at all serviceable in any such undertaking; and I trust it may also be of some use to students and inquirers into the subject generally.
