He confined himself to a sketch of their progress in England and to a narrative of the lives of our principal magicians. It is also devoted to a historical review of witchcraft in Great Britain, and an examination into the most remarkable witch trials.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
