A view of the invisible world: or, general history of apparitions. Collected from the best authorities, both antient and modern; and attested by Authors of the highest Reputation and Credit. Illustrated With a Variety of Notes and parallel Cases; in which, some Account of the Nature and Cause of Departed Spirits visiting their former Stations by returning again into the present World, is treated in a Manner different to the prevailing Opinions of Mankind. And An Attempt is made from Rational Principles, to account for the Species of such supernatural Appearances, when they may be suppos'd consistent with the Divine Appointment in the Government of the World. With the Sentiments of Monsieur Le Clerc, Mr. Locke, Mr. Addison, and Others, on this important Subject. In Which, Some humourous and diverting Instances are remark'd, in order to divert that Gloom of Melancholy that naturally arises in the Human Mind, from reading or medicating on these Subjects. Illustrated with suitable cuts
