Synopsis
The arrangement that I have followed will be found sketched out at the close of the introductory chapter. The chapter on aG alician cannibal has already appeared in print, in Once a Week, I propose making this the first of a series on Popular Superstitions, to be followed by Treatises on Marine Monsters, as Mermaids andS ea-S erpents, Vampires, theW ild Huntsman, theW andering Jew, c. The subject of this first instalment, though horrible, is nevertheless full of interest and importance as elucidating a very obscure and mysterious chapter in the history of the Human Mind. When a form of superstition is prevalent everywhere, and in all ages, it must rest upon a foundation of fikct; what that foundation actually is, I have, I hope, proved conclusively in the following pages.
