Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft by Sir Walter Scott Fiction Classics Horror, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Scott's approach to the subject is one of skepticism and rational thought - superstitions and beliefs are often the cause of a lack of understanding of strange cultures and religions. He ends the book with an fervent hope for his countrymen that ." . . the sense of humanity is too universally spread to permit them to think of tormenting wretches till they confess what is impossible, and then burning them for their pains." | Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft by Sir Walter Scott Fiction Classics Horror, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
