Lowell, James Russell, 1819-1891

"Among My Books First Series"

And an
Attempt is made from Rational Principles to account for the Species
of such supernatural Appearances, when they may be suppos'd
consistent with the Divine Appointment in the Government of the
World. With the sentiments of Monsieur Le Clerc, Mr. Locke, Mr.
Addison, and Others on this important Subject. In which some humorous
and diverting instances are remark'd, in order to divert that Gloom
of Melancholy that naturally arises in the Human Mind, from reading
or meditating on such Subjects Illustrated with suitable Cuts.
London: Printed in the year M,DCC,LII. [Mainly from DeFoe's "History
of Apparitions."]
Satan's Invisible World discovered; or, a choice Collection of Modern
Relations, proving evidently, against the Atheists of this present
Age, that there are Devils, Spirits, Witches and Apparitions, from
Authentic Records, Attestations of Witnesses, and undoubted Verity.
To which is added that marvellous History of Major Weir and his
Sister, the Witches of Balgarran, Pittenweem and Calder, &c. By
George Sinclair, late Professor of Philosophy in Glasgow. No man
should be vain that he can injure the merit of a Book; for the
meanest rogue may burn a City or kill a Hero; whereas he could never
build the one, or equal the other.
