First published in this format in 1884, this early chronological
account forms a complete overview of the history of witchcraft,
"wizardry, and spectral appearances" in Scotland before 1724. An
Editorial note introduces the author, Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe
(1781-1851), and explains how this present volume was originally
written as an introductory chapter to Sharpe's 1819 edition of
"Memorialls; or the Memorable Things that fell out within the
Island of Brittain from 1638 to 1684 by the Rev. Mr. Robert Law."
but came to be regarded as a work which was more important in its
own right. A Biographical Sketch of the 'polished and
aristocratic', 'capricious and eccentric' author follows, with a
good description of the scope of Sharpe's correspondence, literary
labours, etchings and collections. The historical account itself is
presented in twelve chapters, with an Appendix, the editor's own
compilation of a 'Short List of Books on Scottish Witchcraft and
Superstition' and an Index.
