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.
