He had a few friends to lunch with him, including my stepfather, and said that he had seen all that he wished to see in life and could now die happy at any moment. His guests left him in the greatest of spirits and two days afterwards he died, and his body had been brought back as I describe, and he had been found half stunned in that very field road where I had three times seen him. He was dressed in the same homespun suit in which I had seen him in my dream. The cause of his death had been heart disease, of whose existence neither I, nor, I believe, any of those near or dear to him had been aware. He had evidently felt faint and slipped from his horse. The same two men whom I had seen in my dream as helping to carry the body had in fact done so, and my nurse admitted that the left hand knocked against the banisters. She seemed afraid lest I should blame the men who carried the body and did not like to speak of the incident I do not think she had seen the incident herself and I did not like to speak to the men about it It was enough for me that it was on the back of the left hand, as I had seen it in my dream and as from the arrangement of the staircase it must have been, had it been caused in the way that I saw.

I will add one fact which, although it was purely a matter of my own feeling, made perhaps as much impression upon me as anything in this history. I do not think that any daughter could love a father better than I loved my uncle, and, as will have been seen, the prospect of his death was always a deeply- lying fear. But as soon as I knew that all had happened as my dream foretold, I somehow felt that all was well. and the death left me with a sensation of complete acquiescence and peace. It may have been noticed that there were two unreal or fantastic points in my original dream, viz., the multitude of flowers in the garden and the thin covering of snow. I think that I can throw some light on these points by narrating the only two other impressive dreams which I have ever had. The first one of these two dreams I mentioned to others and acted upon it The second I neither mentioned nor acted upon, so it has no value as evidence and is really given as helping to explain the symbolism of snow.

"1 had heard from several relations (although 1 cannot quote definite cases), that they had found that dreams of flowers and of snow were followed by deaths in our family. This may have suggested that form of symbolism to my mind; or the same cause, whatever it was, which acted with them may have acted with me. In any case, what happened was as follows: In 1887 I heard from my stepfather that my mother, who had long been an invalid, was seriously worse; and he asked me when I could go to see her. My mind was therefore occupied with her illness; but the tone of his letter was not immediately alarming; so that we saw no reason for my not attending some races in the neighbourhood, for which we had friends staying. But one night I dreamt a dream - which, though very impressive, was somewhat confused - about my mother seated in a carriage full of flowers. I remembered the symbolism; and I felt assured that my mother was dead or dying. I mentioned the dream to my husband and prepared for an immediate summons, which came directly afterwards. Having all preparations ready made, I left immediately and arrived in time to see my mother die. This dream and that of my uncle are the only dreams on which I have ever acted in any way.

The second dream to which I have alluded was as follows: In 18- I saw a gentleman whom I knew lying dead in a red coat on an open field with snow on the ground. Beside him knelt his mother, who was alive and well at the time of the dream. I tried to approach and speak to her; but she said, 'don't touch me, I have come for him'. I understood that she had died be fore him. Two years later this lady did in fact die, and in two years more her son was killed, just as I saw him lying, in a scarlet coat There was, of course, no snow on the ground, as it was in late spring; so I fancy that the snow may have been symbolical both here and in my dream about my uncle I may add that I am not of an imaginative temperament; and that these are the only incidents in my life which seem to lie outside ordinary explanations. My husband and step-father add their confirmation of the incidents which concern them."

"The above account is true and accurate in every particular."

(Lord Q.'s signature attests (besides his general concurrence with the account) his presence at the interview with Lady Q.'s step-father, as described)

"16th January 1893.

"The account is correct as far as what happened when I went to London to inform Lady Q. of her uncle's death, which is all that is within my own personal knowledge."

The writer of the following account is a lady recommended to me by Dr. Liebeault of Nancy and in all ways an excellent informant - a lady who has now for many years taken a leading part in an important French philanthropic enterprise, and whose mind is not given to exaggeration or morbid sentiment I am obliged thus to describe my correspondent because, for reasons which seem to me adequate, I cannot give her name, or go fully into the points in her letters to me which have led me to regard her as a scrupulously careful witness. From among many psychical experiences, mainly conforming to our usual types, which she has recorded in a pamphlet in my possession, I select the incident which follows:-

Translation from pamphlet printed 1894: -

"In November, 1877, I was expecting my third child On the night before its birth I had a terrible dream.

"I had the feeling that my room was filled by all kinds of mysterious and sorrowful influences, and a small thing, separating itself from these confused surroundings at the other end of the room, said to me, 'I come to you that you may love me\
