To which is added, an appendix, containing some reflections on Mr. Boulton's answer to Dr. Hutchinson's Historical essay; entitled The possibility and reality of magick, sorcery and witchcraft demonstrated
A 1723 London treatise on witchcraft and apparitions, written by Jacques de Daillon and printed for the author as a reply to Francis Hutchinson and Richard Boulton, aimed at a general readership debating supernatural belief. The pictures are repeated headpiece and tailpiece ornaments of scrolling foliage, a central urn or vase, seated squirrels, a rampant bird and a framed initial M, all in dense black woodcut lines that a designer could borrow for decorative borders and frames.
