About this book
The title page calls the work an eighteenth-century chap-book. The Introit says the MS. of Coul's Ghost was found among the Papers of Collector Hamilton, of Dalzell, who died in the summer of 1788, aged 91 years. The text gives an account of Mr. Maxwell Laird of Coul and his appearance after death to Mr. Ogilvie, a Minister at Innerwick, 3 Miles East from Dunbar.
The account says that upon the 3d Day of February, 1722, at seven a clock at Night, one came riding up after the narrator on the Burial Road. In a dialogue, one speaker assures the other that there are as great Differences between Angels, both good and bad, as there are amongst Men, with respect to their sense, knowledge, cleverness, and cunning or action. One speaker imagines telling a wife that the other had appeared to him and told him of so many Forgeries and Villanies which he had committed.
