Light From the Spirit World

Light From the Spirit World is a book by Charles Hammond, first published in 1852. Emerging during the rise of nineteenth-century spiritualism, the work claims to present messages received from the spirits of departed individuals through mediumistic communication.

Written in a tone of divine revelation, it offers spiritual teachings, moral guidance, and philosophical reflections said to originate from higher spiritual intelligences. The content reflects a period of intense curiosity about life after death, the nature of the soul, and communication with the unseen realm.

Hammond’s work contributed to the early body of spiritualist literature and remains a notable example of trance mediumship. Today it stands as a historical document of Victorian-era beliefs about the afterlife and the attempt to systematise spiritual communication during a formative moment in American spiritual history.
