and whats this about demons? the english were almost all protestant or catholic at the time.
Christianity, at the time, included belief in an active Devil and his legions of subordinate Demons, as well as witchcraft/magic.
The English, by this time (I'm assuming it's early-to-mid eighteenth century) were almost exclusively Anglican at the time. The Scots, by this time, had become nonconformists, and had a rather stronger belief in Demons than the Sassenachs. The Irish remained happily Catholic, and suffered for it.
And not one man in the British Isles would have ever heard the term frontal lobe.
