Publisher's Synopsis
The Scandal And Credulities Of John Aubrey is a book written by John Aubrey himself, an English antiquary, natural philosopher, and writer. The book is a collection of his personal accounts and observations of the people and events he encountered during his lifetime. It is divided into two parts, the first of which focuses on the scandals and controversies that Aubrey witnessed or heard about. These include scandals involving prominent figures such as King Charles II, the Duke of Buckingham, and Sir Walter Raleigh. The second part of the book, on the other hand, deals with Aubrey's credulities, or his beliefs in supernatural phenomena and other unusual occurrences. This section includes stories about ghosts, witches, and other supernatural beings that Aubrey claimed to have encountered or heard about from reliable sources. The Scandal And Credulities Of John Aubrey provides a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a 17th-century Englishman and his views on the world around him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
