PSYCHICISM CUM-PHYSIGLOCY.
“The Talkers.” By Robert W. Chambers. (Cloth, 3s 6d net). London: T. Fisher Unwin. This is the sixth impression of Mr Chambers’s “Talkers,” which seems to indicate that this decidedly gruesome romance has found favour with a large portion of the reading public. In it Mr Chambers exploits some of the latest biological discoveries and surgical experiments, working in a good deal of modern psychism and spiritism. The story hinges on the strange case of a girl who, having been suddenly killed, is restored to life by the surgical science and skill of a medical scientist. The result is that the personality of the girl from whose body, when killed by an accident, a minute but potent gland in the nape of the neck has been removed and grafted into the neck of the revived girl, assumes possession of the latter. A leading character is a sinister phychist and hypnotist named Sadoul. There is a great real of physiological and psychological detail, and' finally the heroine is freed from the invading personality.
