A Word on the Sensory and Spiritual Vision of Spirits
Слово о чувственном и о духовном видении духов
A treatise written at Stavropol and published in 1863 on how human beings may see spirits: 'sensory' vision, through the opening of the bodily senses, and 'spiritual' vision, proper to those who have been purified; it warns against the desire for visions and against spiritualism, fashionable at the time.
