DOMESTIC RECREATIONS. No. 8. The advance* which have lately been made in the diff%icnt branches of moral aud phyfical fciencc. have powerfully tended to render men lefs fceptical and incredulous. In former times, when the refearchts of the learned, had fuccceded in cxp«fing the nomerous fallacies, crroit. and abfuidmes, propagated and believed by the ancients, mankind aware how much they had been deceived, became extremely t&Utloufl about what thry admitted, and incredulity was then aim ore a virtue, for without it, the mafsof falfehoud which overwhelmed and fmothered the perceptions of the human race could never have been removed or prevented from accumulating. Cut, now, that the true principles of fcience and phi- lofophical invclligatton have drltroycd the empire of error, and unfolded to wur minds an unimapined ferfei of wondevsi we enjoy a rati- nal idea of poflibilitics, and fear to pronounce any thing fa!ie, until the drift¬ ed and moft legitimate enquiry haa cotivin ccd us that it is fo. Incredul.ty hi (o far as it difcourages invertigation, would now be a? difadvanta^cous as it xvai formerly ihe reveife, and ia the trait of a little mind, which confeious of its own weaknefs and deficienccs, attempt*, by avowing utter dis¬ belief, to do awpy with the neccflity ot en¬ quiries which it is not qualified either to conducl or purfue. Perhaps no (."rcilniltance has eser put the credulity of man fa much to the ten as the numerous Tccorded inftances of the ap¬ pearance of apparitions. Upon this point great difference of opinion Hill exills, and nothing c<inclulive has been brought for¬ ward on ei'thc fide of the quettion. I'n- foitunatrly, the lubjeA is one which is as intereflfng to imaplnati'on as to rcafon ; at lean) k i% --I:., iiible to enter into an enqui¬ ry concerning apparitions, without exam¬ ining the netfl that have been brought for¬ ward in favor of their appearance,aud theft are of fuch a nature, that the impreffion, they will in general produce upon the fan¬ cy, can fcarccly fail to modify the dedue tions that ought to be drawn from them. But, when confidering the matter, we ought to receive as preemptive proofs, thofe ci'cumilanees only, which have cme from authentic fourccs and throw afide all the frivolous hVuies propagattdby the vul gar. a?, having no weight on cither fide of the quef!ion. There can he no difptice whatever about the pofiibility of the cxiftence of anpari- lions; all the argument centers in the qucllion whether or not they have appear ed. The evidences in favor of fupcrnatn- ml appearances, are of a very doubtful kind, for the tumult of mind, and excite¬ ment of imagination, that muft accompany the very idea ofthe prefence of a f|>irii. would incapacitate any one from obferving minutely at the time, or afterwards recol¬ lecting either his own feelings, or what he faw. Therefore we can hardly place im¬ plicit reliance upon any ofthe ghost storks that have hitherto been made public; however, the circumflances, which fomc of them contain, are fo anomalous, and bear fo flrongly the (lamp of truth, that the im- piefliou, a rational mind will receive from a due confideration of them, will not ap¬ proximate to abfolutc incredulity. One thing however is certain. The evidence tkat has hitherto been brought forward muft always bear the fame character, and if we fad in proving; that appatuions have appealed, we will alfo be enabled to prove that they have not appealed. The nature of the queltion does not admit of pofitive. evidence either way, and men are therefore generally inclined to decide it in the ncga- live. The circtimftance. which bears mod flrongly againft the exigence of apparitions, is the difficulty of finding a rcafon for their appearance. It cannot rationally be fuppofed, that the fpin'ts of the dead, would be permitted to revifit :«;, earth, without any intent, hut that of agitating and appalii.g mankind, and in the nume¬ rous accounts wc have of them, (with a very few exceptions,}ii does not fcem.that any purpofe was effected, or any object promoted by their appearance. Circum- llancesoften occur under which fupernatu- ral beings would be highly ferviceabltf to mankind. They might unfold futurity, warn againft danger, deted the guilty, and fave the inneccnt ; and it is to be fuppo¬ fed, that if their vifits were optional with thtmfclvcs, they would make their appear¬ ance much oftener than \\Jecmr they have hitherto done, and likewile endeavour to benefit or Injure the inhabitants of this world. But that the fpirits ofthe dead, do net enjoy any privileges of this kind, may be inferred from the principles which divine rf vclation has unfolded to us as go¬ verning the world. All communication with what lies beyond the grave is denied us, and we arc permitted io anticipate tem¬ poral events, and gain a partial knowledge of futurity, by our own prudence and fore-1 fight only. | Another argument againft the appear- j anceof fuprrnatural bei-'g* may be drawn from the fact, that they have never been ' feen by two ot more per Cons at the fame time, nor has any one been Vlfitcd by them while in the prefence of others. From this, it is to be fufpefted, that the virions that have been defcribed by people of un- queftionable veracity, ex'ftcd only in the imaginations ofthe narrators, and were the ofi^pringof a perturbed fancy, or ofthat depraved flate of the frnfes which often accompanies bodily difeafe. In confirma¬ tion of this, it may be obTervedi that al- moll all apparitions have made their ap¬ pearance dining night and darkncU. At thefe times, warm and irritable imaginations areeafily excited, while indillinA vifion, flrcngthens the propensity they have to embody phantoms of tenor, and give birth to extravagant conceptions. Dreams of¬ ten affect the mind very flrongly, and when we have no means of ascertaining, whether thofe things that fcemed to occur in the courfc of them, were imaginary oi real, we may eafily be deceived into the latter conclusion. The man who dreams he is falling over a p'ecipice, or purfucd by wild beafts, muft be diverted of fuch a falfc impreflion, whenever he awakes, for the Situation in which he 6nds himfelf, will af¬ ford a convincing evidence, that thefe c vents cannot have taken place. But, he who during fl=ep, merely fees a fplrit pafs before him, will not be able when he a- wakes, to obtain any proof that it was a deception, becaufe the circumftance, whe¬ ther true or falfc, would produce no change in his condition or in the things around him. Therefore, upon the ftiength of this principle, we may infer, that fome of thofe men, who profefs to have fcen apparitious, merely dreamt that-they faw them. The arguments, that may be brought forward to prove that apparitions do exift, are of a vciy interfiling a&tutCi and defcrvc as much attention as thofe of an oppofite character. It lias been found, tb.at all nations, fav- age and civilited. are imprefled with an inflinctive belief, that i.:he fpirits of the dead occafionally revilit [rJrij world, and ap¬ pear to men under a foi?ra Similar to what they held while in a i^atc of mortality. The untutored savage, while recliaing in his hut, amidft the filen,c of night, aod the appalling lonclinefsof lht. furcft, will think he hears the voices ot his, anccflors in every bleft, or fee-, by the fllnSes of his dying fire, the form of fome ^parted chief, fee¬ ble from age, and divfig\ircd wj[h wounds. How can ;his fublime, tl.;s myftCrious im- prefllonb* aiTouiltcd fv>, ? TWi it not re femblc that beiicf in the immortality of the foul, which extends over the whole earth, and pervades nations and commn nitics where the Ihi'hl of revelation or tiuc religion never dawned ?—-Or i< not the former conviction an irrcSilliblc confe- qiiencc of this laft ?—Ttodition may have lome effect iu communicating to the minds *t favagrs a belief in apparitions, 33 the talcs of terror current in every civilized country, operarc upon the credulity ofthe vulgar ; but the firft authors of thefe tra¬ ditions had nothing to bias the r minds, except the influence of an intuitive feel¬ ing, or the convictions produced by actual obfervr.;ian. We have accounts of apparitions from fuch resectable fources, that it is impos fiblc to doubt, that the pcilons, either faw, cr thought th-ey faw. what is related, and to fuppofe tha.t they were all deceived by fancy, would be unwarrantable pre- uimption. JJ)rcarr:is, as before mentioned, may fometimes have been coullrued into realities, and falfc religion has the power "f agitating the minds and diftorting the perceptions of fanatics, fo much, that per- fons of this description, may have averred, and firmly believed that they faw angels, and convcrfed with fpirits of the dead, when fuch ideas originated entirely in their nwo diflcmpcred imaginations ; but when a man U engaged in the common buSinefs of liftf, is it natural to fuppofe, that his fancy would fuddmly become fo far per¬ verted as to conjure up a fpectre, or fm- nrefs him with the belief, that he faw a vifion %vhich his previous thoughts could never tend to bring into ideal ■"*ioVnr«» } The ea?hefl notice we have of the ap¬ pearance e* an apparition, is contained in the firft b&k of Samuel, Chap. XXVI11. Wc are thwe told, that the Witch of En. dor, raifet?lnc fpirit of Samuel at Saul's requeft, ard the whole tranfaction is min¬ utely def«,:"bed. " And he (Saul) faid unto her. *hat form is he of? and fhefaid, an old ma- cometh up ; and he is covered with a ma-'tle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he ftooped with his face to th< ground, and bowed himfelf." The next acoonnt is contained in Chap. IV. oftlu Book of Job, and the defcrip- tion ii. tiu'rv fublime. ** In thoughtsfrom viSious of the night, when deep fleep fal- leth upon flcn.

T^cn a fpirit pafTed before my face ; the hair of my He!h ftood up : It flood mil, but I could not difenver the form thereof ' an image was before mine eyes."—Thefe two inftances are of courfe undoubted, and require no comment.-* Relations *f the kind, pofitfling refpecta- bility and juthenticity, are fo numerous in the works of modern authors, that it would be impoffiOlc to allude to many of them. A very muuteand detailed account of an apparition is to be met with in Dirlin- couit's Efuy on Death. This fpirit was fcen by a lady, and held a lon£ and intc- relling conrerfation with her, iu the courfc of which, very plaufible reafons were given for its appearance. However, one of the beft, and moft authentic modern ghojl Jlo- rks is infened in Pinkerton/fl Kccollcc- tlons of Paris, and well defcrvefl the portl- fal ofthe curious, both from the manner h which it is told, and the Angularity of th circumftauces which it contains. Sir Na thaniel Wraxall, in his memoirs, likewifi gives an intcrcfting tale of a Similar kind ; but I am not fufneiently vcrfed i" fitptr natural biogiaphy. to be able to point out lo my readers all the moft authentic four ees of information upon thin fubject. In thofe account* 1 have particularized, they appeared in the broad day-light, and uu der the moft unexceptionable circumftan- ccs, and had ftorics been deftitute of this c!iaract« I would not have referred to them. The conclul'ion, which forces itfelf up¬ on the mind, after a mature consideration of the circumftauces connected with this fubject, is, that il appears highly improba¬ ble, that all the perfons who profefs to h.ive fcen appariiions could have been de¬ ceived into the idea by the warmth or dis order of their own imaginations; but if wc admit that fpiritl have in one or /tv# in- fances appeared to the inhabitants of this earth, we muft alfo admit, that they may have appeared in every iuflance on record ; for there is fo much Similarity in all the moft authentiu relations of the kind, that we have no rcafon to believe one more than another. Of curfc, when I take this view of the fubject, I lay aSide the facts contained in the Scriptures, as they cannot, for obvious reafons, be ufed as evi¬ dences in modern times. The queftion is one, which never can be fatiafactorily de¬ cided in the general opinion of mankinu, for a man may fee, or think he fees an ap¬ parition, and afterwards feel imprefTcd with a peifect beiicf, that fuch have appeared before, bnt he will neither be able to ex tend this conviction to others, nor make them give much attention to any argu mentt he may employ for the purpofe of proving the truth of what he alTeits — However, the decifion of the matter could be of no benefit to focicty. If it was made obvious to mankind, that the fpirits of the dead refortcd to this earth, much difquiet might be the confequencc ; and men, would eagerly attribute to this a- gency, many of the evils and mifrric* which iefultcd from their own guilt & imprudence, and the power of confidence and moral principle, might be weakened in the befl of characters by the beiicf, that the efforts of virtue, or the gifts of fortune, were lia¬ ble to be thwaited, and annulled, by the interference of fupcrnatural being*.
