Method of Research.

For the purpose of this paper I sent out nearly 250 copies of a circular asking for particulars of incidents that would interest our members. (See (1) in the Appendix. All numerical references hereafter are to the cases in this Appendix and the original documents of all the cases referred to or quoted, containing the full names of the witnesses, are, as usual, stored in the S.P.R. office.) Not more than half of the stamped addressed envelopes enclosed with the circulars have found their way back to me, and of the half that covered replies I might have spared some for all the information they conveyed. But I owe, and here tender thanks to several willing correspondents for the trouble taken to answer questions and suggest possible sources of information.

If the material to hand is limited in bulk, it has the merit of being mostly original. Readers will note the strong family likeness that exists between the recitals drawn from persons in South and North Wales, from men and women of different degrees of education and social habit, who were ignorant of each other’s existence, and wrote therefore without any possibility of collusion. That we should find these similarities is a distinct encouragement to researchers to persevere with such inquiries, confident that the underlying laws are not beyond our reach.
