Item 4 - Letter from Henry Thomas Buckle to Richard Monckton Milnes

2 ff.

49 Sussex Square, Brighton. - Magnitude of Milnes's enquiries; the variety of minds is as yet unexplored; study of anomalies therefore difficult; questionable results of existing experimental methods. Postscript: Pooley was not punished as a mere nuisance; he was prey to a 'horrible spirit', but in any case imprisonment was not justified.
