	Edmund Gurney - LoveToKnow 1911
		EDMUND GURNEY (1847-1888), English psychologist, was born at Hersham, near Walton-on-Thames, on the 23rd of March 1847.
		But Gurney's purpose was to approach the subject by observation and experiment, especially in the hypnotic field, whereas vague and ill-attested anecdotes had hitherto been the staple of the evidence of metaphysicians.
		That Gurney was credulous and easily imposed upon those who knew him, and knew his penetrating humour, cannot admit; nor is the theory likely to be maintained by those whom bias does not prevent from studying with care his writings.

	Negative utilitarianism : Edmund Gurney (1847 - 88)
		Gurney was born into a comfortably-off family of the professional class, the son of a London clergyman.
		Gurney reviews a book on Natural Religion, whose author says that the "lower life" is petty and vulgar, and dogmatic religion inadequate to satisfy the demands of the "higher life"; so far, Gurney agrees wholeheartedly.
		Gurney believes that the brain - which he calls "organic matter", matter that is capable of consciousness - is in some way separated from other types of matter.

		The time she spent with Gurney and the talks they had led her to conclude that “Ivor is so agnonizingly sane in his insanity”.

	ISS: What Psychical Research has Accomplished: William James
		It is the opinion of all who took part in these latter experiments that sources of conscious and unconscious deception were sufficiently excluded, and that the large percentage of correct reproductions by the subjects of words, diagrams, and sensations occupying other persons' consciousness were entirely inexplicable as results of chance.
		Gurney shares, therefore, with Janet and Binet, the credit of demonstrating the simultaneous existence of two different strata of consciousness, ignorant of each other, in the same person.
		Gurney's explanation is that the mind of the person undergoing the calamity was at that moment able to impress the mind of the percipient with a hallucination.

	Frederic William Henry Myers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The essay on Virgil, generally considered his best work, is followed by a carefully wrought essay on Ancient Greek Oracles, and a monograph on Wordsworth (1881) for John Morley's "English Men of Letters".
		In 1882, after several years of inquiry and discussion, Myers took the lead among a small band of explorers (including the Sidgwicks and Shadworth Hodgson, Edmund Gurney, and Frank Podmore) who founded the Society for Psychical Research.
		He continued for many years to be the mouthpiece of the society, a position for which his perfervidum ingenium, still more his abnormal fluency and alertness, admirably fitted him.

		Gurney, of course, did not mean to assume that the act of death itself was the cause of all these experiences.
		At an early stage of our collection, Edmund Gurney was struck by the unexpectedly large proportion of cases where the percipient informed us that there had been a compact between himself and the deceased person that whichever passed away first should try to appear to the other.
		This, as Gurney remarked, makes it very difficult to regard the case as a telepathic impression transmitted at the moment of death, and remaining latent in the mind of the percipient.

	CROSS CORRESPONDENCES -- PROOF OF PSYCHIC COMMUNICATION?
		Of the three men, Myers was most interested in proving that spirits survive after physical death and stated that the influence of science on modern thought might be continued after death, and that the dead would know what constituted good evidence of survival and how the living might go about discovering this evidence.
		Their research seemed to reveal that the apparent purpose of the earlier communications was to announcing the continuing personalities of Mary Lyttleton and Francis Balfour, one of Arthur's brothers who had been killed in the Alps in 1882.
		In a short time, she seemed to be able to communicate directly to the various entities, without assistance from a control, to remain aware of what she said during a trance and to recall details of the séance afterward.

	Psychological Aspects of the Revival - A. T. Fryer - Introduction
		I maintained then, as I do now with even greater conviction, that whatever use individual members might make of the results of our inquiries, whatever inferences persons might draw from the verified stories collected by the Society, our work as a Society would be accomplished by that verification and tabulation.
		Gurney entirely assented to this view of our work, and the history of the S.P.R. is sufficient evidence of the loyalty which has been observed towards its first principles.
		In dealing with the Welsh Revival in this paper, I desire to maintain exactly the same line, to relate events so far as one has been enabled to get at their truth, and to present the evidence in a more or less classified form.
