Claude-Generated Themes:   The British Journal of Psychical Research was the official organ of Harry Price's National Laboratory of Psychical Research in London, launched in 1926 and styling itself the European headquarters of the American Society for Psychical Research. Its honorary rolls gathered the interwar research establishment — Schrenck-Notzing, Osty, Thirring, Findlay — and its contents were resolutely investigative: Price's reports on the physical mediumship of the Schneider brothers, the 'Stella C.' sittings, and papers on the statistics of psychical research. Under the motto SCIENTIA OMNIUM REVELATRIX it demanded properly authenticated séance reports and treated the survival question as an open scientific problem. It belongs squarely to psychical research and parapsychology, studying mediumship under test conditions rather than professing the Spiritualist faith.
