Sights and Shadows: Being Examples of the Supernatural.

London: W. H. Allen & Co., 1894. First edition. Hardcover. Octavo. xvi + 327pp + i pp publisher's catalogue. Original blue cloth lettered in gilt on spine, lettered in dark blue on front board. Appendices & index. The fifth volume of the broad-ranging collections on the supernatural by Frederick George Lee, an Anglican theologian and writer. Born in Thame in 1837, Lee went on to become Vicar of All Saints', Lambeth. He had a strong belief in the supernatural, but not from the psychical researcher's point of view as rationally explicable phenomena, but rather (in many cases) as manifestations of the works of the devil. In this particular work he examines haunted localities, apparitions, miracles of healing, divination, hypnotism, etc. Corners bumped and chafed with some fraying at upper corners, spine ends and edges a bit rubbed, bookshop sticker, pen notes on verso of front free endpaper, a few creased upper page corners and chips from lower corners. Still a solid, clean and complete VG copy (no dust jacket). Item #53057
