THIS work was originally constructed, and in previous editions
appeared, in the form of Lectures. The only vestiges of that form,
in its present shape, are certain modes of expression. The language
retains the character of an address by a speaker to his hearers;
being more familiar, direct, and personal than is ordinarily
employed in the relations of an author to a reader. The former work
was prepared under circumstances which prevented a thorough
investigation of the subject. Leisure and freedom from professional
duties have now enabled me to prosecute the researches necessary to
do justice to it. The "Lectures on Witchcraft," published in 1831,
have long been out of print. Although frequently importuned to
prepare a new edition, I was unwilling to issue again what I had
discovered to be an insufficient presentation of the subject. In
the mean time, it constantly became more and more apparent, that
much injury was resulting from the want of a complete and correct
view of a transaction so often referred to, and universally
misunderstood.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1831 Edition.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1828 Edition.
This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This
IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced
typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have
occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor
pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original
artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe
this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections,
have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
