       title: Spectropia; Or, Surprising Spectral Illusions. Showing Ghosts Everywhere, And Of Any Colour. [by J. H. Brown] With Sixteen Illustrations.

     summary: A ghost, according to the general descriptions of those who fancy they have been favoured with a sight of one, apjjears to I)e of a pale phosphorescent white, or bluisli white colour ; usually indistinct, and so transparent that objects are easily seen through it. When the three primary colours are mixed together, white is tlie result : so that when a ray of white light falls upon a piece of paper, and all the vibrations are equally reflected, the paper will appear white, and if they are all absorbed, it will ajipear black ; but, if the paper absorbs .*ome and reflects others, it will ajijiear coloured.

     summary: These finishing touches and farewells, as it turned out, took more time than he had ex- pected. It will be long, I think, before we arrive at a just estimate of the amount of solid reason—if there was any—which lay at the root of the universal fear of witches in old times.

     summary: I had, I may as well confess it, run out of ghosts, and had come down to the writing of tales full of the horror of suggestion, leaving my readers unsatisfied through my failure to describe in detail just what kind of looking thing it was that had so aroused their apprehension ; GHOSTS I HAVE MET and one editor had gone so far as to reject my last ghost-story because I had worked him up to a fearful pitch of excitement, and left him there without any reasonable way out. I have written ghost stories for years now, serious and comic, and I am to-day at the end of my tether compelled to move forward and yet held back. That accounts for it, he said, simply.

Cousen, after Thomas Creswick, xii INTRODUCTION R.A., of The Haunted House ; and it is quite possible that the original picture, which, we arc told, was never in Hood's possession, supplied the initial sugges- tion for the poem it was employed to decorate.
