Book Description
Excerpt from Prose on Several Occasions, Vol. 2: Accompanied With Some Pieces in Verse We are assured by some gentlemen of the English Factory, that the absolute laws against witchcraft, &c. will speedily be revived in Great-Britain! Ireland. Dublin. We hear from London, that the apparition in Cock-Lane, has never been seen by nobody. - Faulkner's Journal. Scotland. Glasgow. The seventh son of a seventh son is just set out on a walk to London, in order to visit the Spirit in Cock-Lane; and as this gentleman is blest with the faculty of second sight, it is thought that he will be able to see her. The spirit's great propensity to scratching makes it generally supposed here, that Miss Fanny died of the itch rather than the small-pox and that the ghost is certainly mangy.
