[Greek].  The binding of the Highland seer in a bull’s hide is described by Scott in the Lady of the Lake.  A modern Highland seer has ensconced himself in a boiler!  The purpose is to concentrate the ‘force’.

{78a} Dr. Hodgson, in Proceedings S. P. R., Jan., 1894, makes Mr. Kellar’s evidence as to Indian ‘levitation’ seem far from convincing!  As a professional conjurer, and exposer of spiritualistic imposture, Mr. Kellar has made statements about his own experiences which are not easily to be harmonised.

{90a} In the Salem witch mania, a similar case of levitation was reported by the Rev. Cotton Mather.  He produced a cloud of witnesses, who could not hold the woman down.  She would fly up.  Mr. Mather sent the signed depositions to his opponent, Mr. Calef.  But Calef would not believe, for, said he, ’the age of miracles is past’.  Which was just the question at issue!  See Beaumont’s Treatise of Spirits, p. 148, London, 1705.
