Caillet 5133. Sehr seltene erste Ausgabe. - The plan of this work is as follows. In the first place, a general view is given of the particular morbid affections with which the production of phantasms is often connected. In a second part of this work, Dr. Hibbert"s object was to point out that in well-authenticated ghost stories of a supposed supernatural character, the ideas which are rendered so unduly intense as to induce spectral illusions, may be traced to such fantastical objects of prior belief as are incorporated in the various systems of superstition, which for ages have possessed the minds of the vulgar. - Taf. mit größerem Falzeinriß u. randrissig, etw. gebr., tls. brüchig, Gelenke mit Lwd. verstärkt, tls. lose, mehrf., inkl. Lochst. gest. Bibl.-Ex.
