[56] Mr. Cary’s account is in Calef, pp. 95-99.
All my references to C. Mather’s _Wonders of the Invisible World_,
and to Calef, are to the London editions of 1693 and 1700. Mr. S. G.
Drake reprints both works in his _Witchcraft Delusion in New England_
(Roxbury, 1866, 3 vols. sm. 4to), with the original paging. This is
the best reprint of these noted books. An excellent and inexpensive
edition of the “_Wonders_” appeared in J. Russell Smith’s _Library of
Old Authors_ (London, 1862, 16mo.), in which the original paging is not
indicated. This edition is especially desirable as it contains reprints
of _A Further Account of the Tryals of the New England Witches_, 1693,
and _Cases of Conscience concerning Evil Spirits personating Men_,
1693, both by Increase Mather. There are several other reprints of the
_Wonders_ and of Calef’s _More Wonders_; but they are carelessly done,
and are not reliable for historical purposes. A copy (with one leaf
missing) of the original _Wonders_ (Boston, 1693), brought two hundred
and ninety dollars at the Woodward auction sale in New-York, April 19,
1869.
