SPIRITUALISM, OCCULTISTS AND MEDIUMS - EGLINGTON Lithographic portrait of William Eglington, the acclaimed English medium (born 10 July 1857), who gave many displays of his spiritualist power in London, and abroad. He held a number of sÚances for the Tzar, Alexander III, and worked with the scientist, Aksakof. The account given by his friend, Dr. Nichols of how Eglington could materialize spirits in full daylight, from a cloud of white vapour, to full, white-sheathed figures, which would appear quite normal in their behaviour and speech, but then disappear just as rapidly as they had come, is said to be among the strangest accounts of the history of Spiritualism. From an account of Eglington's early achievements, see John S. Farmer, Twixt Two Worlds. A Narrative of the Life and Work of William Eglington, 1886.
