"Of the very highest importance in the healing art, is a work just issued by the venerable Professor Buchanan. We have read the book from cover to cover with unabated attention; and it is replete with ideas, suggestions, and practical hints, and conclusions of eminent value to every practitioner who is himself enough of a natural physician to appreciate and apply them.... Having been cognizant of the very valuable and original work accomplished by Professor Buchanan in physiology, and having seen him demonstrate many times, on persons of all grades of intellectual and physical health, the truths he here affirms, the subject has lost the sense of novelty to us, and is accepted as undoubtedly proven."--_American Homoeopathist, New York_.
"MANUAL OF PSYCHOMETRY: The Dawn of a New Civilization." (2d edition.) "The like of this work is not to be found in the whole literature of the past.... His name stands honorably among those who have extended the real boundaries of knowledge."--_Home Journal, New York_.
"As an experimental science it is likely to make its way to _universal_ recognition. But the recognition of psychometry involves a _tremendous change_ in the opinions of the world, the teachings of colleges, and the prevalent doctrines of science and philosophy."--_Health Monthly, New York_.
"The friends of Professor Buchanan have been waiting now thirty years for him to make a proper public presentation of his greatest discovery,--psychometry, a discovery which the future historian must place among the noblest and greatest of this great epoch of human thought.... Every branch of the Theosophical Society should have a copy, and study the book carefully."--_Theosophist, Madras, India_.
