Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft, Addressed to J. G. Lockhart, Esq. (Classic Reprint) by Walter Scott Pdf
Excerpt from Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft, Addressed to J. G. Lockhart, Esq. Among much reading of my early days, it is no doubt true that I travelled a good deal in the twilight regions of superstitious disquisitions. Many hours have I lost, I would their debt were less i - ih examining old, as well as more recent narratives of this character, and even in looking into some of the criminal trials so frequent in early days, upon a sub jcet which our fathers considered as matter of the last importance. And, of late years, the very curious extracts published by Mr. Pitcairn, from the criminal Records of Scotland, are, besides their historical value, of a nature so much calculated to illustrate the credulity of our ancestors on such subjects, that, by perusing them, I have been induced more recently to recall what I had read and thought upon the sub ject at a former period.
