Voices of the Spirit and Spirit Pictures is a book written by Mary Carpenter and originally published in 1877. The book is a collection of stories and personal experiences related to spiritualism and the paranormal. Carpenter, a British educational and social reformer, was a strong advocate of spiritualism and believed in the existence of spirits and the ability to communicate with them. The book is divided into two parts. The first part, Voices of the Spirit, contains accounts of spiritual experiences, including messages from deceased loved ones, prophetic dreams, and visions of the afterlife. The second part, Spirit Pictures, describes the process of producing images of spirits through mediums and includes several examples of these images. Throughout the book, Carpenter provides her own commentary and analysis of the experiences and phenomena described. She argues that spiritualism can provide comfort and solace to those grieving the loss of loved ones and can also offer insights into the nature of the afterlife. Voices of the Spirit and Spirit Pictures is an interesting and informative read for those interested in spiritualism and the paranormal. It offers a unique perspective on these topics from a historical and cultural context.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Daughter of a Unitarian minister and schoolmaster, the penal reformer and educationist Mary Carpenter (1807-77) grew up in a pious family with a strong sense of obligation to those who were less fortunate. Moved by the appalling circumstances of destitute children in Bristol, she established her first ragged school in 1846. In her bid to improve the difficult lives of juvenile delinquents, her enlightened philosophy was one of rehabilitation rather than retribution, emphasising the importance of giving children a sense of self-worth. These views form the basis of this landmark work, first published in 1851. Marshalling a range of evidence in support of her argument, Carpenter highlights the need for radical change in the treatment of young offenders. Her lobbying bore fruit in England with the passage of the Youthful Offenders Act (1854), described as 'the Magna Carta of the neglected child'.
