§ 1. There is a certain class of cases in which, though they are experiments on the agent's part, and involve his conscious concentration of mind with a view to the result, the percipient is not consciously or voluntarily a party to the experiment. Such cases may be called transitional. In them the distance between the two persons concerned is often considerable . . . 70

§ 2. Spurious examples of the sort are often adduced; and especially in connection with mesmerism, results are often attributed to the operator's will, which are really due to some previous command or suggestion. Still, examples are not lacking of the induction of the hypnotic trance in a "subject" at a distance, by the deliberate exercise of volition ..... 70-72

§ 3. Illustrations of the induction or inhibition of definite actions by the agent's volition, directed towards a person who is unaware of his intent 72-74 The relation of the will to telepathic experiments is liable to be misunderstood. The idea, which we encounter in romances, that one person may acquire and exercise at a distance a dangerous dominance over another's actions, seems quite unsupported by evidence. An extreme example of what may really occur is given ......... 74-76

§ 4. Illustrations of the induction of definite ideas by the agent's volition ............ 76

§ 5. The transference of an idea, deliberately fixed on by the agent, to an unprepared percipient at a distance, would be hard to establish, since ideas whose origin escapes us are so constantly suggesting themselves spontaneously. Still, telepathic action may possibly extend considerably beyond the well-marked cases on which the proof of it must depend .... 76-77

§ 6. Illustrations of the induction of sensations by the agent's volition 77-79 § 7. And especially of sensations of sight ..... 79-82

§ 8. The best-attested examples being hallucinations representing the figure of the agent himself ......... 82-92

§ 9. Such cases present a marked departure from the ordinary type of experimental thought-transference, inasmuch as what the percipient perceives (the agent's form) is not the reproduction of that with which the agent's mind has been occupied; and this seems to preclude any simple physical conception of the transference, as due to "brain-waves," sympathetic vibrations, etc. A similar difficulty meets us later in most of the spontaneous cases; and the rapprochement of experimental and spontaneous telepathy must be understood to be limited to their psychical aspect - a limitation which can be easily defended ........... 92 - 94
