[Footnote 14:  I employ the words “Supernature” and “Supernatural” in their popular senses.  For myself, I am bound to say that the term “Nature” covers the totality of that which is.  The world of psychical phenomena appears to me to be as much part of “Nature” as the world of physical phenomena; and I am unable to perceive any justification for cutting the Universe into two halves, one natural and one supernatural.]

[Footnote 15:  My citations are made from Teulet’s Einhardi omnia quae extant opera, Paris, 1840-1843, which contains a biography of the author, a history of the text, with translations into French, and many valuable annotations.]

[Footnote 21:  In the Middle Ages one of the most favourite accusations against witches was that they committed just these enormities.]

[Footnote 22:  It is pretty clear that Eginhard had his doubts about the deacon, whose pledges he qualifies as sponsiones incertae.  But, to be sure, he wrote after events which fully justified scepticism.]

[Footnote 23:  The words are scrinia sine clave, which seems to mean “having no key.”  But the circumstances forbid the idea of breaking open.]

[Footnote 24:  Eginhard speaks with lofty contempt of the “vana ac superstitiosa praesumptio” of the poor woman’s companions in trying to alleviate her sufferings with “herbs and frivolous incantations.”  Vain enough, no doubt, but the “mulierculae” might have returned the epithet “superstitious” with interest.]

[Footnote 25:  Of course there is nothing new in this argument; but it does not grow weaker by age.  And the case of Eginhard is far more instructive than that of Augustine, because the former has so very frankly, though incidentally, revealed to us not only his own mental and moral habits, but those of the people about him.]
