Hello.
I believe that you're looking for Allan Kardec, a very famous psychic
author who lived in the 1800s.
Here is a brief biography courtesy of Amazon.com:
"Allan Kardec, the nom de plume of H. Leon Denizard Rivail, was a
French educator and philosopher born in Lyon on October 2, 1804...
In 1854, at the age of 50, Rivail first heard of paranormal phenomena.
Despite his initial skepticism, he was convinced by close friends to
attend an experimental meeting where he was able to witness such
occurrences firsthand. He dedicated the remaining years of his life to
the study of the phenomena, and strived to employ scientific research
methods in his investigations. He founded the Spiritist Society of
Paris and La Revue Spirite, a journal he edited until his death in
March 31, 1869."

Kardec's most popular books appear to be: "The Book of Mediums," "The
Spirits' Book," and "The Gospel: Explained by the Spiritist Doctrine."
