Publisher's Synopsis
More Wonders of the Invisible World: Or The Wonders of the Invisible World Displayed is a book written by Robert Calef and originally published in 1823. The book is a continuation of Calef's earlier work, More Wonders of the Invisible World, which was published in 1700. In this book, Calef continues his critique of the Salem witch trials, which took place in Massachusetts in the late 17th century. He argues that the trials were based on superstition and hysteria, rather than evidence and reason. Calef also provides accounts of other cases of supposed witchcraft and supernatural occurrences throughout history, including those in England and Europe.The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the Salem witch trials or other cases of witchcraft. Calef provides detailed descriptions of the events and the people involved, as well as his own commentary and analysis. More Wonders of the Invisible World: Or The Wonders of the Invisible World Displayed is an important historical document that sheds light on the witch trials and the social and cultural context in which they occurred. It is also a fascinating exploration of the human tendency to believe in the supernatural and the power of fear and hysteria.In Five Parts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
