This brief article, written by Bliss Knapp, but never published, was popular amongst his students.
In addition, there is a Bible Lesson on the Subject of “Ancient and Modern Necromancy, Alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced”, which was prepared by Mr. Knapp while he served on the Bible Lesson Committee. The Lesson was based on the book of Job.
Both the article and the Bible Lesson citations are included in the pdf file.
