Salem Witchcraft, Vol. 1: With an Account of Salem Village and a History of Opinions on Witchcraft and Kindred Subjects (Classic Reprint) by Charles Wentworth Upham (Paperback / softback, 2017)
Excerpt from Salem Witchcraft, Vol. 1: With an Account of Salem Village and a History of Opinions on Witchcraft and Kindred Subjects The first volume of this work contains what seems to me necessary to prepare the reader for the second, in which the incidents and circumstances connected with the witchcraft prosecutions in 1692, at the village and in the town of Salem, are reduced to chrological order, and exhibited in detail. As showing how far the beliefs of the understand ing, the perceptions of the senses, and the delusions of the imagination, may be confounded, the subject belongs t only to theology and moral and political science, but to physiology, in its original and proper use, as embracing our whole nature; and the facts presented may help to conclusions relating to what is justly regarded as the great mystery of our being, the connection between the body and the mind.
