Two excerpts of essays in English. The first, on lycanthropy, contains secondary bibliography relevant to the subject, usually without date of publication: Samuel Manders, The Scientific and Literary Treasury: Α New and Popular Encyclopædia of the Belles-Lettres; Charles Richet, "Les Démoniaques d'autrefois", Revue des deux mondes (2/1880), pp. 552-583; Jean-Étienne Dominique Esquirol, Mental Maladies. A Treatise on Insanity; X. Saintine, The Myths of the Rhein. There are, finally, quotes by A. Tennyson. The second short excerpt pertains to misogynism in the ancient world.
