This vintage book contains the memoirs of Duncan Campbell, with chapters on such subjects as witchcraft, genii, apparitions, omens, second sight, and more. Duncan Campbell (1680 - 1730) was a deaf Scottish man and popular London soothsayer. As well as fortune-telling, he began selling seemingly miraculous medicines in 1726, including "Pulvis Miraculosus". Campbell died after a severe illness in 1730. Contents include: "Of Fortune-telling in General", "On my Enemies", "Some Convincing Proofs that I always preferred the Interest of my Consulters to my Own", "On Witchcraft", "On the various Deceptions endeavoured to be put on Me", "On Omens: Which are to be depended on, and which not", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
