A Colonial Witch: Being A Study Of The Black Art In The Colony Of Connecticut is a book written by Frank Samuel Child and published in 1897. The book explores the topic of witchcraft in colonial Connecticut, focusing on the infamous case of Mercy Disborough, who was accused of practicing witchcraft in 1692. The book provides a historical account of the case, as well as an analysis of the beliefs and superstitions surrounding witchcraft in colonial America. Child examines the social and cultural factors that contributed to the witchcraft hysteria in Connecticut, including religious beliefs, political tensions, and economic pressures. The book also explores the role of women in colonial society and the ways in which accusations of witchcraft were used to control and oppress them. Overall, A Colonial Witch offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of witchcraft in America and the social and cultural context in which it flourished.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
