Reincarnation for Everyman. By Shaw Desmond. (Andrew Dakers. 5s.)

MR. DESMOND can recollect with perfect certainty more than one previous life on earth, and he knows that other lives will follow his present existence. Although he makes some show of producing evidence on these points, he regards demands for scientific proof rather as obstructions to truth. Anyone who is interested in the question and is prepared to take his statements on trust will find the book very reassuring.
