Annals of Witchcraft in New England and Elsewhere in the United States From Their First Settlement

1869. From their first settlement. Drawn up from published and other well authenticated records of the alleged operations of witches and their instigator, the devil. This is the first attempt, so far as is known to the writer, to collect together the annals of witchcraft in the United States. It has doubtless been a question with all readers of accounts of the witchcraft cases which have occurred in America, how it happened that they were so similar to those which took place in England. The question is easily answered; in other words the similarity is easily accounted for. Witchcraft was imported by those who first practiced it in the States, and was perpetuated by the importers and their immediate descendants.
