Excerpt from preface: This study of witchcraft has been limited to
a period of about one hundred and sixty years in English history.
The year 1558 has been chosen as the starting point because almost
immediately after the accession of Elizabeth there began the
movement for a new law, a movement which resulted in the statute of
1563. With that statute the history of the persecution of witches
gathers importance. The year 1718 has been selected as a concluding
date because that year was marked by the publication of Francis
Hutchinson's notable attack upon the belief. Hutchinson levelled a
final and deadly blow at the dying superstition.
