Facsimile reprint of a 1619 chapbook, issued as a part of an edition limited to 500 copies. 26, 16, [ii]pp, woodcut illustrations. In strong card boards, printed on front panel. 8vo. Covers very slightly rubbed on corners else neat, clean, bright and tight throughout.

This is a facsimile reprint of a 1619 chapbook by J Barnes, original printed by G Eld in London. Barnes’ pamphlet on the Bottlesford witches is in three sections – an introduction describing magical practices of the Jacobean era; the story of the Bottlesford witches their trials; and a final part on the examinations of not only Joan, Margaret and Phillipa Flower but also three other women – Anne Baker, Joan Willimott and Ellen Greene – accused of witchcraft but whose eventual fate is unrecorded.
