Wonders Of Invisible World Witchcraft Salem Trials Cotton Mather New England

Description: The Wonders of the Invisible World Cotton Mather, Increase Mather Softcover, 6" x 9", 180 pages Please NOTE This is a reproduction of a book published in 1862 In the spring of 1692 an alarm of witchcraft was raised in the family of the minister of Salem, and some black servants were charged with the supposed crime. Once started, the alarm spread rapidly, and in a very short time a great number of people fell under suspicion, and many were thrown into prison on very frivolous grounds, supported, as such charges usually were, by very unworthy witnesses. The new governor of the colony, Sir William Phipps, arrived from England in the middle of May, and he seems to have been carried away by the excitement, and authorized judicial prosecutions. The trials began at the commencement of June ; and the first victim, a woman named Bridget Bishop, was hanged. Governor Phipps, embarrassed by this extraordinary state of things, called in the assistance of the clergy of Boston. The book, relating to the terrible witchcraft delusion at Salem is now very rare in the original edition, and its interest, as remarkable monument of the history of superstition, makes it well worthy of a reprint.
