This special edition of 'A Lecture on Popular Superstitions' was written by Bernard Whitman, and first published in 1820, making it just shy of two hundred years old. This short old book covers aspects of well-known superstitions and their origins, and seems quite intent on debunking the entire notion of superstitions putting belief in them down to lack of sophistication and ignorance. This book is a wonderful addition to the libraries of all those who study and research Mythology, Folklore and the Occult. IMPORTANT NOTE - Please read BEFORE buying! THIS BOOK IS A REPRINT.
