It should be noted that Dr Walter Franklin Prince spells the name of one of the central characters of the story, the medium J.B. Conklin, incorrectly as ‘Conkling.’] Dr. Walter Franklin Prince Versus Simon P. Kase PART TWO:— Considering the worldwide attention that has been given to “Was Abraham Lincoln a Spiritualist?” by Nettie Colburn and to earlier accounts by Simon Kase, there is little ready information as to what actually happened and if the scattered reports are authentic. There is to my knowledge only one investigation into the accounts where the information is collated—by the prominent American psychical researcher, Dr Walter Franklin Prince (1863- 1934),2 but this has remained rather obscure. Prince’s research was published by the Society for Psychical Research (SPR) in their Journal (JSPR) December 1930,3 then a private publication unlike its Proceedings. We express our thanks to the SPR for supplying Psypioneer with a photocopy which we re-publish below.

  • Psychical Research in the History and Philosophy of Science. an Introduction and Review
    PSYCHICAL RESEARCH IN THE HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE. AN INTRODUCTION AND REVIEW Andreas Sommer University of Cambridge Churchill College & Department of History and Philosophy of Science E-mail: [email protected] Abstract As a prelude to articles published in this special issue, I briefly sketch changing historiographical conventions regarding the ‘occult’ in recent history of science and medicine scholarship. Next, a review of standard claims regarding psychical research and parapsychology in philosophical discussions of the demarcation problem reveals that these have tended to disregard basic primary sources and instead rely heavily on problematic popular accounts, simplistic notions of scientific practice, and outdated teleological historiographies of progress. I conclude by suggesting that rigorous and sensitively contextualized case studies of past elite heterodox scientists may be potentially useful to enrich historical and philosophical scholarship by highlighting epistemologies that have fallen through the crude meshes of triumphalist and postmodernist historiographical generalizations alike. Keywords Historiography; Psychical research; Parapsychology; Demarcation problem; Popular science Historiographies of science and the ‘occult’ The past decades have seen an ongoing trend of historical interest in nineteenth-century mesmerism, spiritualism, psychical research and related areas western intellectuals are accustomed to view as inherently ‘irrational’ and ‘unscientific’. While the bulk of this literature has been produced by general and cultural historians and scholars in literary, religious and gender studies, until recently there has been a notable paucity of work in these fields by historians of late- nineteenth and early-twentieth century science and medicine. This was in striking contrast to the wealth of available historical scholarship exploring the intersections between science and early modern occult practices and beliefs, e.g.
