 AN ACCOUNT OF SOME

Imaginary

APPARITIONS

FEAR OR FRAUD.

FROM VARIOUS AUTHORS.

"Would you your tender offspring rear With minds well form'd. devoid of fear, Ne'er let the nurse with idie tale Of Ghost their infamt ears assail, Or Bug-a-boo! or Chimmney Sweep! To them into Sleep. Thus, when matur'd by  age, And brought up n the worlds great stage, No midnight horrors vex. the Soul Of howling dogs, or hooting owl! . But on they more with many tread, Accross the mansions of the dead Or pass the ruin'd, where Tradition says' Goblins appear."
