Letters on demonology and witchcraft.
I stopped in a rural second hand bookstore today & spotted a hardcover copy of 'Sir Walter Scott's Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft'. Being fascinated with sci fi, fantasy & esoteric books, I picked it up. The second page has copperplate writing which I think reads "S.L. Fichat (S.C. Tichat) 8 July 1885 Morcester". I was unsure if I read it correctly, so checked (& double checked myself) but the published date is definitely 1884. The cover also reads "Morley's Universal Library 12". The introduction is by Henry Morley & the book was published by George Routledge and Sons - New York. I could not resist buying it. Is this book worth anything more than just a personal fascination for a book lover?
