"The question is whether it is now possible, nerly seventy years after his death, to examine this aspect of his life with sympathy [for Doyle's spiritualist beliefs] rather than derision. Personally, I think it is." - Preface.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975.

Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
