  • The History Spiritualism
    THE HISTORY of SPIRITUALISM by ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE, M.D., LL.D. former President d'Honneur de la Fédération Spirite Internationale, President of the London Spiritualist Alliance, and President of the British College of Psychic Science Volume One With Seven Plates PSYCHIC PRESS LTD First edition 1926 To SIR OLIVER LODGE, M.S. A great leader both in physical and in psychic science In token of respect This work is dedicated PREFACE This work has grown from small disconnected chapters into a narrative which covers in a way the whole history of the Spiritualistic movement. This genesis needs some little explanation. I had written certain studies with no particular ulterior object save to gain myself, and to pass on to others, a clear view of what seemed to me to be important episodes in the modern spiritual development of the human race. These included the chapters on Swedenborg, on Irving, on A. J. Davis, on the Hydesville incident, on the history of the Fox sisters, on the Eddys and on the life of D. D. Home. These were all done before it was suggested to my mind that I had already gone some distance in doing a fuller history of the Spiritualistic movement than had hitherto seen the light - a history which would have the advantage of being written from the inside and with intimate personal knowledge of those factors which are characteristic of this modern development. It is indeed curious that this movement, which many of us regard as the most important in the history of the world since the Christ episode, has never had a historian from those who were within it, and who had large personal experience of its development.

    AUSTIN v. COLUMBIA GRAPHOPHONE CO. – ALLEGED MUSICAL COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. The report below is taken from The Stage, 5th, 12th 19th and 26th July 1923, with obvious mistakes tacitly corrected. Click for other reports: - a fuller report in The Times - a shorter report in Musical Opinion - a summary of the legal implications in The Solicitor’s Journal - a personal memoir in a biography of Frederick Austin by his grandson, Martin Lee-Browne You can hear relevant recordings by clicking on the links found at bottom of this page. In the Chancery Division, on Tuesday, before Mr. Justice Astbury, an action was heard in which Mr. Frederic Austin, the composer, proceeded against the Columbia Graphophone Co. to restrain an alleged infringement of his copyright in the music of the opera “Polly,” and the passing off of defendant’s gramophone records, entitled “Selections From ‘Polly’” as being the records of the plaintiff’s work. Damages were also claimed. The defendants denied infringement, and denied the passing off. Mr. Luxmoore, K.C., and Mr. McGillivray were for the plaintiff; and Sir Duncan Kerly, K.C., and Mr. Henn Collins represented the defendants. Mr. Luxmoore said under the Copyright Act, when gramophone records had once been made of plaintiff’s music anyone else could make records, provided they had done from plaintiff’s music, upon a royalty being paid; but if it was necessary to make a score for the reproduction, the making of the score was an infringement of the plaintiff’s copyright. The most valuable right with regard to gramophone records that plaintiff had was his right to first production.

  • The Alexander Centre
    The Alexander Centre Alexander Collection 2017 Collection Alexander The Alexander Collection The Alexander Centre The Alexander Centre is a Community Interest Company (CIC) and was established in 2010 with the aim of maintaining and developing Gatefield House in Faversham (now renamed the Alexander Centre) as a cultural and community centre for all the people of Faversham, and the surrounding villages. This large Grade II Listed building (circa 1860) was originally built as a family home but from 1943 was used as the Faversham Town Hall and Council Offices. By 2010 the building had become too costly for the Borough Council to maintain and The Alexander Centre CIC took it over that year to operate the building for the local community on a commercial but not-for- profit basis; leasing office space and hiring out rooms and the main hall as a venue for a wide range of community events. Art in The Alexander Centre Since 2010 The Alexander Centre CIC has made significant progress building up income and carefully investing in and restoring this historic and prestigious building in the heart of Faversham. It was apparent when the public rooms were restored that the walls could also become an asset to the community if we could use them to display and showcase modern art; so the idea of The Alexander Collection was conceived. From the start The Alexander Collection was devised as a win-win opportunity for all concerned; for professional artists, by offering them a year-long showcase for their work at no cost to themselves; for a local community based art gallery, providing additional display and gallery space and for The Alexander Centre, benefiting from works of art on our walls that we could otherwise not afford, to enhance our visitor experience.

Barunah Plains has a strong and long association with the grazing history of the western district, and thus with a major chapter of the history of Victoria (Criterion A.4). The range of structures on the property, including bakery, laundry, cottages, implement shed, stables, coach house, woolshed and ram building, is important for the way it reflects a functioning western district sheep property founded in the nineteenth century. Additionally, the ram shed and the gate providing entry to the garden and park are unusual features. The garden is also important as an example of the Gardenesque design style, exhibiting the following style characteristics: a dominance of shrubberies with minimal lawn area; use of gravel paths; and use of trees with distinctive form as features (Criterion B.2).

  • Spiritism, Violence, and Social Struggle in Late Nineteenth-Century Catalonia
    Spiritism, Violence, and Social Struggle in Late Nineteenth-Century Catalonia Gerard Horta University of Barcelona ABSTRACT This article discusses different situations concerning the position- ing of the nineteenth-century Catalan spiritism towards violence: on the one hand, with regard to capitalist's society's implementa- tion of the industrial process; on the other, in relation to the politi- cal use of violence – ‘terror tactics’ – employed by certain anar- chist sectors in Catalonia at the close of the century. As we shall see, an understanding of said positioning reveals the spiritist move- ment's ambiguity in this sphere. To interpret this ambiguity, one must take into account the tremendous crossroads at which its fol- lowers found themselves, midway between one society being destruc- tured and another that, in statu nascendi, was being prestructured. INTRODUCTION Catalan spiritism is first mentioned in the correspondence that José Maria Fernández Colavida established in 1858 with Léon Denizard Rivail also known as Allan Kardec (1804–1869), the Lyon-born French educator who systemized European spiritist theory and practice in 1857. Spiritism was firmly ingrained in Catalonia from the 1860s to 1939 at the end of the Spanish Civil War, the outcome of which triggered brutal repression against the movement's asso- ciations and followers. Throughout that period, broad subordinate sectors – in general, workers and artisans – devised a world's view, the organization of social relations and the development of people that embraced all spheres of existence. The presence of certain members of financial means made possible the earliest translations to Spanish, clandestine editions and the diffusion of Kardec's works, for example The Spirits' Book (Kardec 1963) (for an over- Social Evolution & History, Vol.

    Orders of the Day The Publication of the Association of Former MLAs of British Columbia Volume 24, Number 3 April 2018 Social change advocate moves into Gov. House BCHappy has a new Lieutenant Governor Holidays, Janet Austin. Austin is a remarkable community leader and advocate for social change. She has been serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Metro Vancouver YWCA, a position she has held since 2003. She follows Judith Guichon into Government House to take on what has been, until last year, a largely ceremonial five-year appointment. Guichon made headlines last June when she asked the NDP’s John Horgan to form government after no single party had won a majority. The announcement by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came March 20 as Governor General Julie Payette paid her first official visit to British Columbia. She was welcomed to Government House by Guichon. It would be Her Honour’s final bow. Incoming Lieutenant Governor Janet Austin Payette signed the guest book at Government House, leaving a sticker of her new coat of arms, which features a white wing to symbolize exploration, liberty and safety. Payette, a former astronaut, was the second Canadian woman to go into space and the first Canadian on board the International Space Station. The Prime Minister and Premier John Horgan thanked the outgoing Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon for her numerous contributions and her work to engage communities, non-profit organizations, and businesses across the province since taking office in 2012. Premier John Horgan and retiring Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon greet continued on Page 4 Governor General Julie Payette on her first official visit to BC.

  • Mediumship: Study and Practice Program 2
    Mediumship: Study and Practice Program 2 1 Federação Espírita Brasileira Mediumship: Study and Practice Program 2 Organized by: Marta Antunes Moura Translated by: SUMMARY 2 3 Mediumship: Study and Practice - Program 2 Introduction Further to the launch of the Program I: Mediumship Course: Study and Practice, we present to the Spiritist Movement the Program II which completes the doctrinal content planned for the formation of mediumship workers in the Spiritist House. In this program, the study and practical activities have become more compressed and focused on Mediumistic practice, expected to be developed within six months, including the complementary activities, considered optional. The weekly meetings remain up to two hours, and the presentation of each theoretical theme is at maximum between 30-40 minutes, reserving the remaining time (1 hour and 30/20 minutes) to the Mediumistic exercise, developed in the form of a supervised Mediumistic meeting. Upon completion of the course, if the course coordination understands that participants need more time for Mediumistic practice, they may extend the supervised Mediumistic practice to one or two semesters, in accordance with the existing possibilities. Another possibility, always keeping consistency with the existing conditions in the Spiritist institution, is to direct participants who effectively demonstrate spiritual conditions to join a Mediumistic group, assuming their commitment to the work of mediumship. Participants should be aware that the completion of the course does not guarantee them referral to a Mediumistic group, considering that the Mediumistic experience demands of each one, not only doctrinal knowledge itself, but the persevering effort of moral improvement, dedication, attendance and mental health.
