Page "Spiritualism" Paragraph 81

London-born Emma Hardinge Britten ( 1823 – 99 ) moved to the United States in 1855 and was active in spiritualist circles as a trance lecturer and organiser.

She is best known as a chronicler of the movement's spread, especially in her 1884 Nineteenth Century Miracles: Spirits and their Work in Every Country of the Earth, and her 1870 Modern American Spiritualism, a detailed account of claims and investigations of mediumship beginning with the earliest days of the movement.
