spiritualism
Home in the unflattering poem of " Sludge the Medium " (1864); Home, nevertheless, had many disciples, and gave seances at several European courts. He became a Roman Catholic, but was expelled from Rome as a sorcerer. in 1866 Mrs Lyon, a wealthy widow, adopted him as her son, and settled 6o,000 upon him. Repenting, however, of her action, she brought a suit for the return of her money,on the ground that it had been obtained by " spiritual " influence. It was held that the burden of establishing the validity of the ;ift lay on Home, and as he failed to do so the case was decided against him. He continued, however, to give seances, mostly on the Continent, and in 1871 appeared before the tsar of Russia
series of experiments designed to test his pretensions before Professor (subsequently Sir William) Crookes, which the latter declared to be thoroughly genuine; and Professor von Boutlerow, of the Russian Academy
series of experiments, expressed the same opinion . Home published two volumes of Incidents of my Life and Lights and Shadows of Spiritualism
