Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Originally published in 1808, this work had long been out of print
before being revived in this 1876 edition, which is enhanced by a
biography of the author by her godson. A poet, letter-writer and
essayist, Anne Grant (1755-1838) lived in America between the ages
of three and thirteen, after which her family returned to Scotland.
Described by the author as a 'miscellany of description,
observation and detail', the book paints a charming picture of New
York life in the idyllic world of pre-revolutionary America. Grant
blends memories of her childhood in Albany with biographical
details of her friend Madame Schuyler, of whom she wrote 'whatever
culture my mind received, I owe to her'. Greatly admired by Scott
and Southey, the book provides sketches of New York life alongside
anecdotes of the Indians. For more information on this author, see

TV's POPULAR "GHOST HUNTERS" REVEAL ALL-NEW, NEVER-BEFORE-TOLD
STORIES FROM THEIR SPOOKY EARLY INVESTIGATIONS
For the first time ever, Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, founders of
The Atlantic Paranormal Society (T.A.P.S.), share their most
memorable and spine-tingling early cases -- none of which has ever
appeared on television. Beginning with the previously untold
experiences that sparked their passion for ghost hunting, Jason and
Grant's bone-chilling investigations uncover:
- A Connecticut woman who seems to exist in two places at once
- A little girl whose invisible playmate retaliates
against her father's punishments
- A man overcome by an evil entity as Jason and Grant survey his
home
- A distraught woman who dreams of paranormal events
before she experiences them...and much more
Jason and Grant didn't always have the fancy scientific equipment
and experienced team that fans now watch on their smash-hit
television show. As they share their hair-raising first
experiences, they offer essential tips for budding paranormal
investigators -- including how to use an electromagnetic field
(EMF) meter and an infrared camera, determine if a supernatural
phenomenon is good or evil, and deal with spirits. Whether you're a
skeptic or a believer, these fascinating and frightening true
stories will keep you up at night
