General Register.

NOTES.—The names of Speakers, Mediums, etc., are given without criticism or endorsement. The public must judge, and individuals be responsible. The public must judge, and individuals be responsible. 2. Titles are given only to designate former professions. 3. This Register does not claim to be complete, though the editor has used all possible efforts to make it such. Doubtless hundreds of names are not reported. We have those nearly a thousand private mediums and speakers, found inexpedient to publish, because it is not known how far they are reliable and willing to become subject to calls outside the circle of their own personal friends. 4. The term, Normal, applies to speakers who seem to speak in the natural state, but most of whom speak under inspiration. 5. Trance, applies to those who are sensibly influenced or controlled by spirits. 6. Healing, etc., applies to mediums who examine, prescribe and treat disease by spirit aid.

I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.—JESUS.

Closing Remarks.

Though this Register is more complete than any yet published, it is not perfect. We have travelled and labored through most of the Northern States, and much during the past year, constantly gleaning facts and statistics, and private correspondents have aided us. If any important names are omitted, they have not been reported. The names of private mediums and speakers are mostly omitted. [. . .] It was found impracticable to specify all the public meetings, circles, lecturing routes, number of believers in certain localities or name persons to be addressed. Thanks are due many friends for the aid afforded us. We commend this little work for what it is worth, hoping some good may result.
