On Witchcraft: Being The Wonders Of The Invisible World 1692 is a book written by Cotton Mather, a prominent Puritan minister in colonial New England. The book is a collection of his writings and sermons on the subject of witchcraft, based on his own experiences and observations during the infamous Salem witch trials of 1692.Mather believed that witchcraft was a real and dangerous threat to society, and his book is a passionate defense of the Puritan belief in the existence of witches and the devil. He argues that the devil is constantly seeking to corrupt and destroy humanity, and that witchcraft is one of his most powerful tools.The book includes several accounts of alleged witchcraft and demonic possession, as well as Mather’s own theories on how to identify and combat witches. He also includes a detailed history of the Salem witch trials, including the trials and executions of several accused witches.Mather’s writing is often highly emotional and dramatic, reflecting the intense fear and anxiety that surrounded the issue of witchcraft in colonial New England. Despite its controversial subject matter, On Witchcraft: Being The Wonders Of The Invisible World 1692 is considered an important historical document and a fascinating glimpse into the beliefs and attitudes of early American society.First Published At Boston In October 1692 And Now Reprinted, With Additional Matter and Old Wood-Cuts, For The Library Of The Fantastic and Curious.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
