Samuel Hibbert produced this volume on the physical and medical causes of visions in 1825, after delivering a popular lecture at the Royal Society of Edinburgh on spectral illusions. Using medical case-studies and anecdotal evidence, Hibbert explores the diseases and psychology which lead individuals to see ghosts or spirits.
