Collected by Robert Calef; And Wonders of the Invisible World, By Cotton Mather; Together With Notes and Explanations. Originally published: Salem, Mass.: H.P. Ives and A.A. Smith, 1861. xxi, [22]-450 pp. Reprinted 2014 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781616194512. ISBN-10: 1616194510. Paperback.

Samuel Parris, of Salem Village, and of his connection with the witchcraft delusion of 1692 (1857). Fowler's library was recognized for its breadth of works related to witchcraft and American history. COTTON MATHER [1662-1728], the son of Increase Mather, took over for his father as Pastor of the Old North Church in Boston in 1685. Mather is known for his founding role in the Salem witchcraft trials. ROBERT CALEF [1648-1719], a member of the Baptist Church in Boston, denounced the Salem witchcraft trials and in particular criticized Mather's zeal in promoting the trials. …
