PREFACE.
THIS work was originally constructed, and in previous editions
appeared, in the form of Lectures. The only vestiges of that form, in
its present shape, are certain modes of expression. The language
retains the character of an address by a speaker to his hearers; being
more familiar, direct, and personal than is ordinarily employed in the
relations of an author to a reader.
The former work was prepared under circumstances which prevented a
thorough investigation of the subject. Leisure and freedom from
professional duties have now enabled me to prosecute the researches
necessary to do justice to it.
The "Lectures on Witchcraft," published in 1831, have long been out of
print. Although frequently importuned to prepare a new edition, I was
unwilling to issue again what I had discovered to be an insufficient
presentation of the subject. In the mean time,[i.viii] it constantly
became more and more apparent, that much injury was resulting from the
want of a complete and correct view of a transaction so often referred
to, and universally misunderstood.
The first volume of this work contains what seems to me necessary to
prepare the reader for the second, in which the incidents and
circumstances connected with the witchcraft prosecutions in 1692, at
the village and in the town of Salem, are reduced to chronological
order, and exhibited in detail.
As showing how far the beliefs of the understanding, the perceptions of
the senses, and the delusions of the imagination, may be confounded,
the subject belongs not only to theology and moral and political
science, but to physiology, in its original and proper use, as
embracing our whole nature; and the facts presented may help to
conclusions relating to what is justly regarded as the great mystery of
our being,—the connection between the body and the mind.
It is unnecessary to mention the various well-known works of authority
and illustration, as they are referred to in the text. But I cannot
refrain from bearing my grateful testimony to the value of the
"Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society" and the
"New-England Historical and Genealogical Register." The "Historical
Collections" and the "Proceedings" of the Essex Institute have afforded
me inestimable assistance. Such works as these are providing the
materials[i.ix] that will secure to our country a history such as no
other nation can have. Our first age will not be shrouded in darkness
and consigned to fable, but, in all its details, brought within the
realm of knowledge. Every person who desires to preserve the memory of
his ancestors, and appreciate the elements of our institutions and
civilization, ought to place these works, and others like them, on the
shelves of his library, in an unbroken and continuing series. A debt of
gratitude is due to the earnest, laborious, and disinterested students
who are contributing the results of their explorations to the treasures
of antiquarian and genealogical learning which accumulate in these
publications.
A source of investigation, especially indispensable in the preparation
of the present work, deserves to be particularly noticed. In 1647, the
General Court of Massachusetts provided by law for the taking of
testimony, in all cases, under certain regulations, in the form of
depositions, to be preserved _in perpetuam rei memoriam_. The evidence
of witnesses was prepared in writing, beforehand, to be used at the
trials; they to be present at the time, to meet further inquiry, if
living within ten miles, and not unavoidably prevented. In a capital
case, the presence of the witness, as well as his written testimony,
was absolutely required. These depositions were lodged in the files,
and constitute the most valuable materials of history. In our[i.x] day,
the statements of witnesses ordinarily live only in the memory of
persons present at the trials, and are soon lost in oblivion. In cases
attracting unusual interest, stenographers are employed to furnish them
to the press. There were no newspaper reporters or "court calendars" in
the early colonial times; but these depositions more than supply their
place. Given in, as they were, in all sorts of cases,—of wills,
contracts, boundaries and encroachments, assault and battery, slander,
larceny, &c., they let us into the interior, the very inmost recesses,
of life and society in all their forms. The extent to which, by the aid
of William P. Upham, Esq., of Salem, I have drawn from this source is
apparent at every page.
A word is necessary to be said relating to the originals of the
documents that belong to the witchcraft proceedings. They were probably
all deposited at the time in the clerk's office of Essex County. A
considerable number of them were, from some cause, transferred to the
State archives, and have been carefully preserved. Of the residue, a
very large proportion have been abstracted from time to time by
unauthorized hands, and many, it is feared, destroyed or otherwise
lost. Two very valuable parcels have found their way into the libraries
of the Massachusetts Historical Society and the Essex Institute, where
they are faithfully secured. A few others have come to light among
papers in the possession of individuals. It is to be[i.xi] hoped, that,
if any more should be found, they will be lodged in some public
institution; so that, if thought best, they may all be collected,
arranged, and placed beyond wear, tear, and loss, in the perpetual
custody of type.
The papers remaining in the office of the clerk of this county were
transcribed into a volume a few years since; the copyist supplying,
conjecturally, headings to the several documents. Although he executed
his work in an elegant manner, and succeeded in giving correctly many
documents hard to be deciphered, such errors, owing to the condition of
the papers, occurred in arranging them, transcribing their contents,
and framing their headings, that I have had to resort to the originals
throughout.
As the object of this work is to give to the reader of the present day
an intelligible view of a transaction of the past, and not to
illustrate any thing else than the said transaction, no attempt has
been made to preserve the orthography of that period. Most of the
original papers were written without any expectation that they would
ever be submitted to inspection in print; many of them by plain country
people, without skill in the structure of sentences, or regard to
spelling; which, in truth, was then quite unsettled. It is no uncommon
thing to find the same word spelled differently in the same document.
It is very questionable whether it is expedient or just to
perpetuate[i.xii] blemishes, often the result of haste or carelessness,
arising from mere inadvertence. In some instances, where the interest
of the passage seemed to require it, the antique style is preserved. In
no case is a word changed or the structure altered; but the now
received spelling is generally adopted, and the punctuation made to
express the original sense.
It is indeed necessary, in what claims to be an exact reprint of an old
work, to imitate its orthography precisely, even at the expense of
difficulty in apprehending at once the meaning, and of perpetuating
errors of carelessness and ignorance. Such modern reproductions are
valuable, and have an interest of their own. They deserve the favor of
all who desire to examine critically, and in the most authentic form,
publications of which the original copies are rare, and the earliest
editions exhausted. The enlightened and enterprising publishers who are
thus providing facsimiles of old books and important documents of past
ages ought to be encouraged and rewarded by a generous public. But the
present work does not belong to that class, or make any pretensions of
that kind.
My thanks are especially due to the Hon. Asahel Huntington, clerk of
the courts in Essex County, for his kindness in facilitating the use of
the materials in his office; to the Hon. Oliver Warner, secretary of
the Commonwealth, and the officers of his department; and to Stephen N.
Gifford, Esq., clerk of the Senate.[i.xiii]
David Pulsifer, Esq., in the office of the Secretary of State, is well
known for his pre-eminent skill and experience in mastering the
chirography of the primitive colonial times, and elucidating its
peculiarities. He has been unwearied in his labors, and most earnest in
his efforts, to serve me.
Mr. Samuel G. Drake, who has so largely illustrated our history and
explored its sources, has, by spontaneous and considerate acts of
courtesy rendered me important help. Similar expressions of friendly
interest by Mr. William B. Towne, of Brookline, Mass.; Hon. J. Hammond
Trumbull, of Hartford, Conn.; and George H. Moore, Esq., of New-York
City,—are gratefully acknowledged.
Samuel P. Fowler, Esq., of Danvers, generously placed at my disposal
his valuable stores of knowledge relating to the subject. The officers
in charge of the original papers, in the Historical Society and the
Essex Institute, have allowed me to examine and use them.
I cordially express my acknowledgments to the Hon. Benjamin F. Browne,
of Salem, who, retired from public life and the cares of business, is
giving the leisure of his venerable years to the collection,
preservation, and liberal contribution of an unequalled amount of
knowledge respecting our local antiquities.
Charles W. Palfray, Esq., while attending the General Court as a
Representative of Salem, in 1866,[i.xiv] gave me the great benefit of
his explorations among the records and papers in the State House.
Mr. Moses Prince, of Danvers Centre, is an embodiment of the history,
genealogy, and traditions of that locality, and has taken an active and
zealous interest in the preparation of this work. Andrew Nichols, Esq.,
of Danvers, and the family of the late Colonel Perley Putnam, of Salem,
also rendered me much aid.
I am indebted to Charles Davis, Esq., of Beverly, for the use of the
record-book of the church, composed of "the brethren and sisters
belonging to Bass River," gathered Sept. 20, 1667, now the First Church
of Beverly; and to James Hill, Esq., town-clerk of that place, for
access to the records in his charge.
To Gilbert Tapley, Esq., chairman of the committee of the parish, and
Augustus Mudge, Esq., its clerk, and to the Rev. Mr. Rice, pastor of
the church, at Danvers Centre, I cannot adequately express my
obligations. Without the free use of the original parish and church
record-books with which they intrusted me, and having them constantly
at hand, I could not have begun adequately to tell the story of Salem
Village or the Witchcraft Delusion.

MAP AND ILLUSTRATIONS.
The map, based upon various local maps and the Coast-Survey chart, is
the result of much personal exploration and perambulation of the
ground. It may claim to be a very exact representation of many of the
original grants and farms. The locality of the houses, mills, and
bridges, in 1692, is given in some cases precisely, and in all with
near approximation. The task has been a difficult one. An original plot
of Governor Endicott's Ipswich River grant, No. III., is in the State
House, and one of the Swinnerton grant, No. XIX., in the Salem
town-books. Neither of them, however, affords elements by which to
establish its exact location. A plot of the Townsend Bishop grant, No.
XX., as its boundaries were finally determined, is in the State House,
and another of the same in the court-files of the county. This gives
one fixed and known point, Hadlock's Bridge, from which, following the
lines by points of compass and distances, as indicated on the plot and
described in the Colonial Records, all the sides of the grant are laid
out with accuracy, and its place on the map determined with absolute
certainty. A very perfect and scientifically executed plan of a part of
the boundary between Salem and Reading in[i.xvi] 1666 is in the State
House; of which an exact tracing was kindly furnished by Mr. H.J.
Coolidge, of the Secretary of State's office. It gives two of the sides
of the Governor Bellingham grant, No. IV., in such a manner as to
afford the means of projecting it with entire certainty, and fixing its
locality. There are no other plots of original or early grants or farms
on this territory; but, starting from the Bishop and Bellingham grants
thus laid out in their respective places, by a collation of deeds of
conveyance and partition on record, with the aid of portions of the
primitive stone-walls still remaining, and measurements resting on
permanent objects, the entire region has been reduced to a demarkation
comprehending the whole area. The locations of then-existing roads have
been obtained from the returns of laying-out committees, and other
evidence in the records and files. The construction of the map, in all
its details, is the result of the researches and labors of W.P. Upham.
The death-warrant is a photograph by E.R. Perkins, of Salem. The
original, among the papers on file in the office of the clerk of the
courts of Essex County, having always been regarded as a great
curiosity, has been subjected to constant handling, and become much
obscured by dilapidation. The letters, and in some instances entire
words, at the end of the lines, are worn off. To preserve it, if
possible, from further injury, it has been pasted on cloth. Owing to
this circumstance, and the yellowish hue to which the paper has faded,
it does not take favorably by photograph; but the exactness of
imitation, which can only thus be obtained with absolute certainty, is
more important than any other consideration. Only so much as contains
the body of the warrant, the sheriff's return, and the seal, are
given.[i.xvii] The tattered margins are avoided, as they reveal the
cloth, and impair the antique aspect of the document. The original is
slowly disintegrating and wasting away, notwithstanding the efforts to
preserve it; and its appearance, as seen to-day, can only be
perpetuated in photograph. The warrant is reduced about one-third, and
the return one-half.
The Townsend Bishop house and the outlines of Witch Hill are from
sketches by O.W.H. Upham. The English house is from a drawing made on
the spot by J.R. Penniman of Boston, in 1822, a few years before its
demolition, for the use of which I am indebted to James Kimball, Esq.,
of Salem. The view of Salem Village and of the Jacobs' house are
reduced, by O.W.H. Upham, from photographs by E.R. Perkins.
The map and other engravings, including the autographs, were all
delineated by O.W.H. Upham.

town of Salem, unless otherwise stated.
I. John Gould.
Sold by him to Capt. George Corwin, March 29, 1674; and by Capt.
Corwin's widow sold to Philip Knight, Thomas Wilkins, Sr., Henry
Wilkins, and John Willard, March 1, 1690.
II. Zaccheus Gould.
Sold by him to Capt. John Putnam before 1662; owned in 1692 by Capt.
Putnam, Thomas Cave, Francis Elliot, John Nichols, Jr., Thomas Nichols,

acres on the southerly side of this farm, in "Blind Hole," on condition
that he would set up copper-works. As the land appears afterwards to
