The Coverley Papers is a collection of essays and fictional letters written by various authors in the early 18th century. The essays were originally published in a weekly newspaper called The Spectator, which was edited by Joseph Addison and Richard Steele. The essays cover a wide range of topics including politics, society, religion, and literature. The fictional letters are written by a character named Sir Roger de Coverley, who is a wealthy and eccentric country gentleman. Through his letters, Sir Roger provides a humorous and satirical perspective on life in 18th century England. The Coverley Papers is considered a classic of English literature and is often studied in courses on British literature and history.When I hear the relations that are made from all parts of the world, not only from Norway and Lapland, from the East and West Indies, but from every particular nation in Europe, I cannot forbear thinking that there is such an intercourse and commerce with evil spirits, as that which we express by the name of witchcraft. But when I consider that the ignorant and credulous parts of the world abound most in these relations, and that the persons among us, who are supposed to engage in such an infernal commerce, are people of a weak understanding and crazed imagination, and at the same time reflect upon the many impostures and delusions of this nature that have been detected in all ages, I endeavour to suspend my belief till I hear more certain accounts than any which have yet come to my knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
