Conant, the World's Medium of the Nineteenth Century: Being a History of Her Mediumship From Childhood to the Present Time; Together With Extracts From the Diary of Her Physician; Selections From Letters Received Verifying Spirit Communications Given Through Her Organism at the Banners of Light Free Circles The accompanying biography is so simply and lucidly told, that it will explain itself to the reader, and needs no comments in advance. A few words relating to its authorship and the circumstances of its production, may properly come from one who read it while in manuscript, but was in no way connected with its production. I am told, and believe, that spirit Theodore Parker outlined and dictated its essential substance, and may be deemed its responsible producer. Mr. John W. Day, a reporter at the Banner of Light office, listened on many occasions to utterances through Mrs. Conant while she was under control by Parker, and minuted in shorthand what that spirit desired to put forth as a biography of his medium. Subsequently, Mr. Day wrote out in - full, under the guidance of memory and impression, aided by Mrs. Conant's statements while in her normal condition - by facts and reminiscences furnished by Mr. Colby, chief editor of the Banner - and by the diary of Mrs. Conant's physician. The style of composition is probably that of the amanuensis, while the arrangement and leading facts and reflections should be ascribed to Parker. The peculiar properties, gifts, utterances, labors, sufferings, and fame of its subject give to the work its chief interest. It is a simple, straight-forward narrative, even though a dead man here describes the life lines of a living woman.
