Sir Walter Scott wrote "Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft" for
Murray's Family Library (a series of books on diverse topics to be
published in cheap five shilling volumes) at the request of his
son-in-law, J.G. Lockhart. The books does indeed take the form of
letters covering areas of demonology and witchcraft from biblical
times to current day. 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."
