Amst., H. Moolenijzer, 1833. Sm. 8vo. Orig. wrappers. With engraved caricatural frontispiece, nicely coloured by hand, and full-page engraved caricature. (8), 150, (2) pp.

First edition of a popular book by Arend Fokke Simonsz. (1755-1812). Adapted from the German, the book was intended to unmask and fully explain ghosts and haunting in order to fight superstition and fear for the supernatural. Still, the book probably was popular more for the horror stories and descriptions of haunting experiences it contained than for its educational value.

Good, uncut copy.
This title not in Waller, Muller, etc.
