1.Francois Valles: Entretiens Sur Le Spiritisme Comment On Doit Comprendre L.Interroger Et LÕEtdier. tours: Juliot, 1870. xi,[1]

Kardec, Allan (pseud.); Francois Valles;Louis Alphonse Cahagnet; Gabriel Delanne; & Jean Baptiste Roustaing [Sammelband]

Seven rare late19th century works on spiritualism relating to Kardec and his spiritualist society bound together. ÒThe growth of Spiritism on the Continent was marked by similar transitions from popular curiosity to serious inquiry. As far back as 1787, the Exegetic and Philanthropic Society of Stockholm, adhering to the Swedenborgian view, had interpreted the utterances of ÔmagnetizedÕ subjects as messages from the spirit world. This interpretation gradually won favour in France and Germany; but it was not until 1848 that Cahagnet published at Paris the first volume of his "Arcanes de la vie future dŽvoilŽes", containing what purported to be communications from the dead. The excitement aroused in Paris by table-turning and rapping led to an investigation by Count AgŽnor de Gasparin, whose conclusion ("Des Tables tournantes", (Paris, 1854) was that the phenomena originated in some physical force of the human body. Professor Thury of Geneva ("Les Tables tournantes", 1855) concurred in this explanation. Baron de Guldenstubbe ("La RŽalitŽ des Esprits" Paris, 1857), on the contrary, declared his belief in the reality of spirit intervention, and M. Rivail, known later as Allan Kardec, published the "spiritualistic philosophy" in "Le Livre des Esprits" (Paris, 1853), which became a guide-book to the whole subject.Ó [Catholic Ency.]ÒAllan Kardec, the nom de plume of H. Leon Denizard Rivail, was a French educator and philosopher born in Lyon on October 3, 1804.In 1854, at the age of 50, Rivail heard of the mysterious paranormal phenomena that had taken America and Europe by storm. Despite his skepticism, he was convinced by close friends to attend an experimental meeting where he was able to witness such occurrences first-hand. His intellectual curiosity and scientific instincts told him that there had to be a rational explanation for these phenomena. Consequently, he began soon afterward to conduct investigations of his own... To keep his new area of research apart from his writings on education, Rivail Ñ on the advice of spirit instructors Ñ adopted the name Allan Kardec, which he was told had been his name in a previous incarnation. In addition to the publication of the books listed below, he founded the Spiritist Society of Paris and La Revue Spirite, a journal he edited until his death on March 31, 1869.ÓÒKardec's Ôuniversal control,Õ as RoustaingÊ interpreted it,Ê was simply an ambitious man's ploy to impose his will on others, and to give his ideas the allure of irrefutable truth. (Roustaing, Quatre Evangiles, reponse ses critiques etÊ ses adversaires, 1882, 18.) This brochure is a manuscript Roustaing wrole in 1866 and Roustaing went onto note that in America, where Spiritualism remained free of dogma and decentralized, it had succeeded in making converts "bv the millions." In theory, Spiritism was a doctrine that promised freedom, social reform, and the transformation of "human spiritual life. In practice, as Roustaing saw it, Spiritism was an authoritarian sect that "exhausted and imprisoned" the minds of its adherents by forcing them to bend to Kardec's implacable will. ÒFrancois Valle (1805-) was the honorary president of the Society DÕEtudes Psychologique De Paris founded by Kardec and honorary inspector general des Points-Et-Chaussees.Ó First Editions..
