*** The Ray of Displacement (1903) - Harriet Prescott Spofford

Likely influenced by H.G. Wells' 'Invisible Man' (1897). The inventor here devises an innovation that not only allows him to pass unseen - it also allows him the ability to pass right through matter. However, when he's jailed after an incident when he accidentally dematerializes an acquaintance's diamond, he refuses to walk through the walls of the jail until his reputation is rehabilitated. However, his stubbornness may have consequences for more than just himself.
