The stories themselves are vividly written and often include graphic descriptions of the supposed actions of the possessed or accused witches.Overall, ""Tales Of Conscience Concerning Evil Spirits"" provides a fascinating insight into the beliefs and fears of Puritan society in the late 17th century and is an important historical document for anyone interested in the history of witchcraft and demonic possession.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1693 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
