SEEING THE UNSEEN
Is it possible for man to switch back the hand of time, so to speak, and by reason of his inherent faculties, to live in the past? Tliln was the question raised by Captain A. G. Pape in a lecture at Edinburgh. The lecture was entitled/ I ‘ls there a New Race Type?” and in it Captain Pape declared that there aro inherent faculties within every man which, if developed, will enable him actually to live in the past: to see, if lie desires it, the earth before it was solidified; to hear a Perielean oration, or to witness the triumphal progress of Caesar. It was this lecture and these claims which startled the Anthropological section of the British Association out of its wonted atmosphere of serenity and tranquility when Captain Pape submitted them before that body at Liverpool in 1923.
