A Memoir of Richard Hodgson, 1855-1905 offers a detailed portrait of a prominent figure in the world of psychical research during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Penned by M. A. De Wolfe Howe, this biography explores the life and work of Richard Hodgson, a key investigator of spiritualist phenomena and a leading member of the Society for Psychical Research. The book delves into Hodgson's early life, his education, and his eventual dedication to the study of psychic phenomena. It meticulously recounts his investigations into famous cases of spiritualism, mediumship, and alleged paranormal events, providing insights into the methodologies and challenges of early psychical research. Howe's narrative captures Hodgson's intellectual rigor, his skepticism, and his unwavering commitment to seeking empirical evidence in a field often fraught with controversy. This memoir not only serves as a biographical account but also as a valuable historical record of the burgeoning field of parapsychology and its attempts to understand the mysteries of the human mind and the possibility of life beyond death.
