DANIEL DE FOE AND HIS GHOST STORIES.

Mrs. Bray adds--

Such is Mrs. Bray's account of these very curious circumstances. The ghost story inserted in Gilbert, as mentioned above, is altogether so much in the style of De Foe, that a doubt remains whether, after all, he may not have been the author of it. Can "D.S.," or any of your readers, throw further light on the subject?

D.S.Y.

PET-NAMES.

BENJ. H. KENNEDY.
