Abstract
THIS book is mainly a survey of records of of certain phenomena occurring between 20 B.C. and A.D. 1890 which, after sifting and weighing the available evidence, the author deems worthy of the designation “marvels”. Some, however, may think the book scarcely bears out its title ; indeed, the author himself, in the majority of his collected cases, carefully refrains from divulging his own views—if any were held—concerning the real significance of his ”marvels“. These may be summarized as follows:
A Book of Marvels
