The Scottish Witchcraft Trials is a book written by J.W. Brodie-Innes that provides a comprehensive account of the witch trials that took place in Scotland during the 16th and 17th centuries. The book explores the historical context of these trials, including the political and social factors that contributed to the persecution of witches. It also examines the legal procedures that were used in these trials, as well as the methods of torture and interrogation that were employed to extract confessions from accused witches. The book features detailed accounts of some of the most notorious witch trials in Scottish history, including the North Berwick Witch Trials and the trial of Isobel Gowdie. It also provides insight into the beliefs and practices of Scottish witchcraft during this time period. Overall, The Scottish Witchcraft Trials offers a fascinating and informative look at a dark chapter in Scotland's history.1891. The average modern reader on the subject of witchcraft seems only doubtful whether the greatest measure of his scornful pity should be bestowed on the poor silly victims of fantastic delusion or on the grossly superstitious, ignorant and bigoted judges who tortured and killed unfortunate persons little above the grade of idiots on account of their delusions. Judges or prisoners, as described on these lines, would be monsters with whom human nature can no more enter into sympathy than it can with the joy of the snake swallowing a guinea pig.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
