#78 Mrs. Elizabeth Sweet, one of the greatest mediums of the mid-1800s.
Not much is known about Mrs. Sweet (died 1859), but, having reviewed nearly 200 books concerning channeled information, I count her work among those of highest quality. By this I mean that the spirit-persons she attracted -- which indicates a certain purity and sound-mindedness on her part -- those who spoke through her mediumship, understood natural law, and got it right on virtually all aspects of how life truly works over there. The respected Judge J.W. Edmunds (1816-1874), New York State Senator, Judge of the New York Supreme Court, Judge and Court of Appeals, was also one of the first American afterlife researchers. He wrote the foreword to “The Future Life”: … during the three most active years of my investigation into the reality and philosophy of spiritual intercourse, I was intimately associated with Mrs. Sweet, and came to regard her as, to say the least, one of the most reliable of all the mediums whom I had seen… During her life she always shrank [from publicity], and would now [after her recent passing], were she yet with us, shrink from the publicity which any such book would give to her name… through her own singleness and purity of purpose [and service-mindedness] … she became one of the best trance and speaking mediums I have ever seen.

My recommendation to the reader is this: Use the search-box on the homepage to locate quotations on the WG site for "The Future Life" and Mrs. Sweet’s work. There are many references sprinkled throughout the many articles.
So much of the material in “The Future Life” is worthy of making note. These testimonies from spirit-persons are some of the most valuable statements about the next life to be found on WG.
