GHOST STORIES There is a foolish and perni-
cious practice with some people of relating sto.
ries TO young children, to excite alarm and ter
ror. II it was only foolish or unreasonable, it
might not justly call forth strong expressions Of
censure. Yet, even in such case, the practice
had better be discontinued and condemned as
quite improper Stories to arouse curiosity and
excite inquiry, if the subjects tend to utility, are
certainly proper and commendable. But the
common tales of Blue Beard and giants, of spec
tres and ghosts, are extremely injurious in their
influence and effects. Unfounded and absurd
notions are received, that serve only to terrify,
and which, even by correct knowledge after
wards received, cannot be entirely subdued or
eradicated 1t is in vain to reason against them,
or to oppose to them the knowledge derived
from natural philosophy and the sciences.
