Table of Contents

THE following novel is based on The Ambiguities of Miss Smith, a masterly essay by William Roughead. The author knows of no other account of this strange affair and wishes to give all due tribute and gratitude to the writer of The Ambiguities of Miss Smith.

It may be pointed out that the period of the story is in the 1870's and that the matters dealt with are considered in the light of knowledge common in that period. Spiritualism and the other subjects touched on are therefore to be understood as being dealt with as from the point of view of seventy years ago.
