[Defoe, Daniel] The Secrets of the Invisible World Disclos d: Or an Universal History of Apparitions, Sacred and Prophane Under all Denominations; Whether, Angelical, Diabolical, or Human Souls departed … By Andrew Moreton Esq. The Fourth Edition. London, Printed for J. Cecil, E. Withers etc. 1740. 8vo. [12] + 395 + [1 blank]p. With 6 plates (including frontispiece) engraved by J. Van der Gucht. Contemporary calf. First published in 1727 as An Essay on the History and Reality of Apparitions with wonderful illustrations. In his last work Daniel Defoe ((c1660-1731) examines the popular subject of unsolved mysteries. Belief in ghosts (spirits of the dead) and apparitions (spirits of other kinds) was common in the past. It was thought that spirits could be seen by some people but not others, as they could limit their visibility. The pseudonym Andrew Moreton was one of several used by the author in his writings. A good copy with occasional light traces of usage; a wormhole repaired not affecting text. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-6230916899
