Excerpt from The Holocaust, or the Witch of Monzie: A Poem, Illustrative of the Cručlties of Superstition; Lays of Palestine; And Other Poems; To Which Is Prefixed, Enchantment Disenchanted; Or, a Treatise on Superstition

The following Work is so much the creature of nu looked-for circumstances, that the author, who is pain fully conscious of its many imperfections, and who trusts that his pretensions are as humble as his talents, is fain to take refuge under this fact as his apology for venturing, on the present occasion, within public gaze.

The Treatise on Superstition, which constitutes the first part of the volume, is the fruit of some thought, and the subj ect has occasionally, at distant intervals, occupied the writer's attention. At the same time, if any merit is claimed on the score of originality, it is not in point of matter but in point of method that he ventures respectfully to put forward this claim.
