Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft

HL537

Author: Sir Walter Scott
Publisher: London - John Murray, 1831
Condition: Very Good +, Scarce

A study of witchcraft and the supernatural by Sir Walter Scott. A lifelong student of folklore, Scott was able to draw on a wide-ranging collection of primary and secondary sources. His book found many readers throughout the 19th century, and exercised a significant influence in promoting the Victorian vogue for Gothic and ghostly fiction. Though on first publication it met with mixed reviews, it is now recognised as a pioneering work of scientific anthropology.

8vo (small). Bound in original full polished calf, with elaborate gilt design to spine and gilt border on boards. Very light shelf wear to edges, otherwise unmarked. Ex-libris bookplate of George Hilson, Jedburgh on pastedown. Frontispiece engraved by W.H. Lizars after J. Skene. Internal pages clean, bright and unmarked. Binding tight. Overall an excellent copy for its age.
