MEMOIRS OF EXTRAORDINARY POPULAR DELUSIONS Volume III (of III) Charles Mackay

Scottish poet, journalist and editor Charles Mackay (Charles Mackay) is known for his writings, some of which are set in music. His book "The Memoirs of Unusual Common Delusions" was first published in 1841 (London: Richard Bentley, New Burlington Street, in Lower General Press) and he promised to provide it "if it is welcomed". other materials. This work was clearly well received, leading to the publication of a two-volume revised second edition in 1852 (London, Office of the National Library of Illustrations, 227th Street). Since then, the book has been reprinted frequently. We present here the second edition (1852).
