"Popular Superstitions is a 19th-century book designed for juvenile readers covering mysteries of the world as well as supernatural phenomena. Published by the American Sunday School Union, this 1832 first edition covers a wide variety of topics including volcano eruptions, magical arts, summoning ghosts and spirits, disappearing ships, gods and demons, ventriloquism, astrology, fortune-telling, and much more. The focus of the book was to warn children against such superstitions and to focus their gaze toward God and his power, rather than that of darkness." [a review]
