The Discovery of Witches: A Study of Master Matthew Hopkins Commonly Called Witch Finder General 1647 is a book written by Montague Summers. The book is a historical study of the notorious figure, Matthew Hopkins, who was known as the Witch Finder General during the 17th century in England. The book explores the life of Hopkins, his methods of identifying and prosecuting witches, and the impact of his actions on the witchcraft trials that took place during his time. The author provides a detailed account of the social and political climate of the time, which contributed to the rise of witch hunts and the persecution of those accused of witchcraft. The book also includes primary source material, such as transcripts of trials and letters written by Hopkins himself. The Discovery of Witches is a comprehensive and informative study of a dark period in English history, and sheds light on the methods and motivations behind the persecution of alleged witches during this time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
