Thanks, I've downloaded it.
If my failing memory serves me rightly Harriet Martineau referred to this in passing in her Retrospect of Western Travel, though she didn't give any details. |

I don't know. I do know that Mr. Locke was apparently the editor for Edgar Allan Poe and some think that he borrowed ideas from one of Poe's works and outdid Poe's story a bit. It could be that he did or it could just be sour grapes on the part of Mr. Poe. What's really interesting to think about is that just over 100 yrs later there was another hoax that caused wide spread panic. On Sunday Oct. 30 1938 Orson Welles put his "War of the Worlds" broadcast on the radio and caused quite a panic among the listeners.
