Scott being a renowned author throughout much of the world during his lifetime, as well as a Christian, his views and scepticism on the titled subjects were, and continue to be, well respected. Containing much in the way of fascinating and accurate content Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft is a reliable and enjoyable read for those with an interest in both the subject matter itself and the historical aspect of the information.

Excerpt from Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft, Addressed to J. G. Lockhart, Esq. Among much reading of my early days, it is no doubt true that I travelled a good deal in the twilight regions of superstitious disquisitions. Many hours have I lost, I would their debt were less i - ih examining old, as well as more recent narratives of this character, and even in looking into some of the criminal trials so frequent in early days, upon a sub jcet which our fathers considered as matter of the last importance. And, of late years, the very curious extracts published by Mr. Pitcairn, from the criminal Records of Scotland, are, besides their historical value, of a nature so much calculated to illustrate the credulity of our ancestors on such subjects, that, by perusing them, I have been induced more recently to recall what I had read and thought upon the sub ject at a former period.

Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft by Walter Scott The notion that witchcraft faded away with the onset of the scientific revolution is entirely mistaken.

Carefully researched, alive with stories drawn from his own & contemporaries' experience, & ranging in subject matter from ghosts & fairies to witches & astrologers, the ÔLetters' inform, enliven, & entertain as they try to wed 19th-century skepticism with evidence which contradicts it.

Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft by Henry Morley Sir Walter Scott's "Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft" were his contribution to a series of books, published by John Murray, which appeared between the years 1829 and 1847, and formed a collection of eighty volumes known as "Murray's Family Library." The series was planned to secure a wide diffusion of good literature in cheap five-shilling volumes, and Scott's "Letters," written and published in 1830, formed one of the earlier books in the collection. The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge had been founded in the autumn of 1826, and Charles Knight, who had then conceived a plan of a National Library, was entrusted, in July, 1827, with the superintendence of its publications. Its first treatises appeared in sixpenny numbers, once a fortnight. Its "British Almanac" and "Companion to the Almanac" first appeared at the beginning of 1829. Charles Knight started also in that year his own "Library of Entertaining Knowledge." John Murray's "Family Library" was then begun, and in the spring of 1832-the year of the Reform Bill-the advance of civilization by the diffusion of good literature, through cheap journals as well as cheap books, was sought by the establishment of "Chambers's Edinburgh Journal" in the North, and in London of "The Penny Magazine."

He focuses on instances of demonology in Western Europe with emphasis on France and in Sweden. His intimate knowledge of early Scottish culture and practices gives a singular importance to chapters concerned with his native land. Scott died two years after publication in 1832. The book has been reprinted frequently. It is considered a classic study of witchcraft.
