As to the simpler forms of the manifestation (it is all one manifestation), the 'turning-tables,' I was convinced long before Faraday's letter that _many_ of the amateur performances were from involuntary muscular action--but what then?
These are only imitations of actual phenomena.

Faraday's letter does not meet the common fact of tables being moved and lifted without the touch of a finger.

It is a most arrogant letter and singularly inconclusive.

Tell me any facts you may hear.

Mr.Kinney, the American Minister at the Court of Turin, had arrived at Florence a few days before we quitted it, and he and his wife helped us to spend our last evening at Casa Guidi.
