DREAM
OF
MR.
PERCEVAL'S
MURDER
"SUNDHILL,
December,
1832.
"[Some
account
of
a
dream
which
occurred
to
John
Williams,
Esq.,
of
Scorrier
House,
in
the
county
of
Cornwall,
in
the
year
1812.
Taken
from
his
own
mouth,
and
narrated
by
him
at
various
times
to
several
of
his
friends.]
"Being
desired
to
write
out
the
particulars
of
a
remarkable
dream
which
I
had
in
the
year
1812,
before
I
do
so
I
think
it
may
be
proper
for
me
to
say
that
at
that
time
my
attention
was
fully
occupied
with
affairs
of
my
own--the
superintendence
of
some
very
extensive
mines
in
Cornwall
being
entrusted
to
me.
Thus
I
had
no
leisure
to
pay
any
attention
to
political
matters,
and
hardly
knew
at
that
time
who
formed
the
administration
of
the
country.
It
was,
therefore,
scarcely
possible
that
my
own
interest
in
the
subject
should
have
had
any
share
in
suggesting
the
circumstances
which
presented
themselves
to
my
imagination.
It
was,
in
truth,
a
subject
which
never
occurred
to
my
waking
thoughts.

dream
