Human Personality and its Survival after Bodily Death

Abstract

FREDERIC W. H. MYERS died in Rome in A 1901, just as this century opened; but he left behind him a mass of writing which was afterwards edited and published as two volumes on “Human Personality”, reviewed by me in NATURE of June 18, 1903 (68, 145). These books represent for all time his real life-work, that for which he was willing to live laborious days; they represent what he genuinely conceived to be a message of moment to humanity; they are his legacy to posterity; and in the light of the facts contained in them he was willing and even eager to die.
