THE PSYCHIC IN A NUTSHELL : (SOME BRIEF NOTES FOR AMATEUR PSYCHIC READERS) by Arthur Delroy.
One of my favorite chapters is "Hypnotism and how to avoid it". Obviously this author is an early debunker. It is such an interesting book and well written. The author has quite the sense of humor as well as insight into human nature. It includes information on seances and mind reading. It was a real delight to read. 
And an interesting tibit about seances..."The popularity of séances grew dramatically with the founding of the religion of Spiritualism in the mid-nineteenth century. Perhaps the best-known series of séances conducted at that time were those of Mary Todd Lincoln who, grieving the loss of her son, organized Spiritualist séances in the White House, which were attended by her husband, President Abraham Lincoln, and other prominent members of society" via Wikipedia
