Description

The Discovery of Witches: A Witch-finder's Account Published in 1647, this book is a rare and disturbing account of witch-hunting in 17th-century England. Matthew Hopkins, the author, was a notorious witch-finder who claimed to hold the office of Witchfinder General. Between 1644 and 1647, Hopkins and his associates were responsible for a significant increase in witch trials, resulting in hundreds of executions. This book provides a unique insight into the methods and mindset of these witch-hunters, shedding light on a dark period in English history. Written by Matthew Hopkins himself, this account is a chilling reminder of the dangers of unchecked power and the devastating consequences of fear and superstition.
