Elizabeth Ellet takes something of a departure from her first, biographical work 'The Women of the American Revolution' (which is still studied in the present day) to offer up a personal insight and philosophy on the nature and existence of spirits, both divine and malevolent. Ellet's later history would be forever tainted by scandalous rumors regarding she, Edgar Allan Poe, and Frances Sargent Osgood. Rumors that - to my mind - feel a bit misguided; doubly so given her apparent, vociferous devotion to the religious institution of marriage.
