About this book
Reginald Scot's attack on belief in witchcraft is reprinted from the first edition of 1584, in a limited run of 250 copies published by Elliot Stock in 1886. Scot, an Elizabethan Englishman, wrote to dispute the idea that witches hold supernatural powers and to argue against the prosecution of those accused. The original was a black-letter quarto; the reprint is not a facsimile, and it modernises the old use of i, j, u and v. A list of subscribers and a dedication to Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, come before the text.
