GRGR(7) psychometrist

[James Kyllo]

Lars asked:

>One question: What´s a psychometrist? Does anybody know (or have an idea
>at least)?

The following is from "Sir Oliver Lodge FRS. The Mode of Future Existence.
1933 Lecture"

One of the most elementary forms of discernment is (rather absurdly) called
Psychometry. An object put into their hands may convey more information than
the senses can give : a psychometrist can tell something of its history,
something of its association, something of its possessor. By special faculty
they can tell far more than could be arrived at by chemical tests. They can
tell, for instance, that a bit of stone has formed part of a pyramid, or
that a ring has taken part in a scene of slaughter, or that a piece of
writing or drawing has been done by a certain person normally quite unknown
to them, and can even tell what the circumstances of that person were at the
time, and what they were doing.
