Excerpt from Spiritism and Common Sense Apostolic Delegation, United States of American, 1811 Biltmore Street, Washington, D. C. Nov. 28, 1920. Reverend Father: Having assisted at the two conferences which your reverence so ably gave in this city, I am glad to express my congratulations. I am delighted also and grateful, not only for the pleasure given me and the rest of the spectators but above all for the good that such conferences will doubtless produce. Let us always open more and more the eyes of the public - especially Catholics - to dangers of Spiritism; making them at the same time realize that many phenomena attributed to a mysterious and occult cause are reducible to clever trickery. Accept, then, the renewed expression of my sentiment of admiration. Blessing you in the Lord, I have the pleasure to sign myself, Your Reverence's servant in Christ, Giovanni Bonzano, Arcivescovo di Melitence, Delegato Apotolico. R. F. C. M. de Heredia, S.J., Holy Cross College, Worcester, Mass. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Heredia was born in Mexico City and spent his life investigating and exposing the tricks of spiritism.
He worked as a professor at the College of the Holy Cross. At the Catholic Club of New York in 1920, he held a mock séance for five hundred people. He showed the audience how easily one could fake mediumship tricks such as the levitation of objects and how easily people can be fooled in the séance room.
Heredia had revealed how the fake ectoplasm "spirit hand" was made by using a rubber glove, paraffin and a jar of cold water.
The work of Heredia in debunking the tricks of fraudulent mediums has been praised by the skeptic Daniel Loxton.
