Publisher's Synopsis

This collection of work by Scottish journalist Charles Mackay offers the very first glimpses into crowd psychology studies, by touching on subjects such as asset bubbles, haunted houses, crusades, as well as religion's influence on appearance. This spellbinding study, first published in 1841, is a powerful vignette of Victorian society and its follies and is worth a read, particularly for history lovers and economic enthusiasts.
