Discovery of Witches The Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches in the Countie of Lanc By James Crossley INTRODUCTION. Were not every chapter of the history of the human mind too precious an inheritance to be willingly relinquished, -for appalling as its contents may be, the value of the materials it may furnish may be inestimable, -we might otherwise be tempted to wish that the miserable record in which the excesses occasioned by the witch mania are narrated, could be struck out of its pages, and for ever cancelled.
