Description

Heading: (Witchcraft)
Author: Webster, John
Title: The Displaying of Supposed Witchcraft: wherein is affirmed that there are many sorts of deceivers and impostors, and divers persons under a passive delusion of melancholy and fancy but that there is a corporeal league made betwixt the devil and the witch, or that he sucks on the witches body, has carnal copulation, or that witches are turned into cats, dogs, raise tempests or the like, is utterly denied and disproved...
Place Published: London
Publisher:Printed by J.M. [Jonas Moore]
Date Published: 1677
Description:

[15], 346, [4] pp. ([A]4, a4, B-2Y4). (Folio) 35.6x23 cm (14x9¼"), speckled and paneled calf, raised bands, morocco lettering piece. First Edition, large paper copy.

John Webster (1610-1682) was an English clergyman, physician and chemist with occult interests, a proponent of astrology and a skeptic about witchcraft. In this book, there is implication that deceptive techniques, such as sleight of hand, might be responsible for supposed supernatural occurrences, as in the title of Chap. XII, "If the Devil, or Witches have power to perform strange things, whether they do not bring them to pass by meer natural means, or otherwise..." Caillet 11366. MacPhail, Alchemy and the Occult, 133/ NLM/Krivatsy 12612. Norman Library 2191. Wing W1230.

Condition

Joints cracked, rubbing at extremities, corners somewhat frayed; small chip to front free endpaper, a few creases; very good.
