Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft
Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft were written by Sir Walter Scott in 1830, near the end of his life, as a volume of Murray's Family Library, and this edition carries an introduction by Henry Morley. In ten letters addressed to his son-in-law J. G. Lockhart, Scott traces belief in spirits, fairies, demons and witches from biblical and classical times through the Middle Ages to the witch trials of Scotland, England and New England, including the career of the witch-finder Matthew Hopkins. Rational but never dismissive, he mixes history, folklore and personal anecdote, explaining apparitions by illness, imagination and fear.
