Excerpt from After Death: Or Disembodied Man The first edition of this work appeared in a Western city in November, 1866. The author had opportunity to correct the proof-sheets, which were never sent to him; and, in consequence, the most vital mistakes occurred in printing. The demand for the work was, however, so great, that, at the solicitation of many correspondents, the author resolved to re-write, revise, correct, greatly enlarge, and supervise the printing thereof. This has w been done, and the work, in proper shape, is herewith presented for the judgment and, I hope, profitable acceptance of the thinking portion of mankind. I dedicate this book to my friends in need, therefore friends indeed, - S. B. Watrous, of Fort Union, New Mexico, and F. B. Dowc, of Davenport, Iowa.
