Description
1822 Blue Laws Code of 1650 SALEM WITCHCRAFT Connecticut Witch Trials New Haven



This incredible 19th-century record of the Blue Laws of New Haven was a direct correlation to cases during the Salem Witch Trials. Note the frontispiece of a constable seizing a tobacco taker!



The Blue Laws of the Colony of Connecticut, as distinct from the generic term "blue laws" that refers to any laws regulating activities on Sunday, were the initial statutes set up by the Gov. Theophilus Eaton with the assistance of the Rev. John Cotton in 1655 for the Colony of New Haven, now part of Connecticut. After the laws were approved, they were printed in London, England, in 1656 and distributed to households in New Haven.
