In a day like today – January, 15 – it appeared in Paris, France the first edition of The Medium’s Book, Allan Kardec. It was 1861. The aim of the new work, Kardec wrote: "After exposing the philosophical part of Spiritist science in this book (referring to The Spirits’ Book), we give this practical work, for the use of those who wish to deal with the manifestations, whether to do it personally, or to find out about the phenomena they are allowed to observe. They will see, there, the obstacles they may encounter and also have a means of avoiding them. These two works, while the second is a follow-up to the first, are to some extent independent of each other. But whoever wishes to deal seriously with matter should say that he first read The Spirits’ Book because it contains basic principles without which some parts of it might become difficult to comprehend".
