Dream of a politician's assassination foreshadowed by a dream
A Cornwall man woke during the night recounting a dream of a pistol shot in the House of Commons lobby killing a Chancellor. A visitor later identifying the slain man as Mr Perceval, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, sparks a sequence of events that appears to predict the future. A similar dream by a Scottish clergyman and a related tale of two sisters link dreams to real misfortunes, with the narrative ending by citing Abercrombie on intellectual powers.
