Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. Overall, the book is good but has a couple of significant flaws. The lower end of the spine cover is off, about 1 1/2 inches, spine cover is detached at rear but holding on, on the front. Also, the last page of the text and the first page of the advertising at rear is torn horizontally the width of the page. Otherwise, some rubbing to the full leather boards, spine ends and corners bumped and a bit worn. Front gutter is starting to seperate. Front tissue covering the engraving of Nairne has a tear, piece missing at edge. The preface page has a tear at the lower edge about 2 1/2 inches, gutter split after that page. The rest of the book is clean and unmarked. So basically, good minus. I am enclosing the spine piece.

Number 672 of 1275 limited edition copies on Dutch paper; folio (30 x 20 cm); headpieces and in-text illustrations after woodcut originals, title printed in red and black, numbered in pen to limitation page, offsetting to endpapers, ex-libris label to front pastedown; publisher's red morocco backed green cloth boards, upper cover stamped with device in red, spine lettered in gilt, top-edge gilt, others uncut, extremities a little rubbed, very good; xxxvi, [1], 282, [2]pp. An excellent, limited edition printing of this seminal treatise debunking the belief in witchcraft, reproducing the text and woodcut illustrations in full, with an introduction by the occult historian Rev. Montague Summers. The discoverie went well beyond even the arguments made in Johann Weyer's earlier De praestigiis damonum (1566) to refute the foundation for the belief in witches. Chiefly Scot maintained that all those who had been executed so far in England were innocent, attributing manifestations of supposed witchcraft to imposture and cheap tricks. Books 13 and 14 are largely given oven to an exposà of these illusions and cozening devices. Scot also asserted that none of the terms translated in the Bible as 'witch' held that meaning in the original tongue, undermining the key justification for the prosecution of witchcraft as a crime against God. In demonstrating that belief in witchcraft and magic has no basis in religious or rational thought, Scot listed 212 authors of Latin works and 23 authors in English, including Thomas More, John Bale, and John Foxe, who informed his attack on 'witchmongers', those who sought 'to pursue the poore, to accuse the simple, and to kill the innocent.' Instead he explains the phenomenon as resulting from sociological causes: poor women, often lying-in maids, blamed for the deaths of infants under their care. A remarkably modern assessment which chimes with current academic thinking. 'As far as Scot was concerned, those who confessed to being witches were either deluded or the victims of torture, while much of what Bodin had taken to be evidence for the existence of witchcraft in different eras and diverse cultures, Scot was prepared to dismiss as mere fable and fiction' (ODNB). The work however proved controversial, and was not licensed by the Stationers Company, likely because it attacked an officially recognised belief. According to Norman, Scot's views did have some positive effects, yet many responded in vigorous defence of the old superstitions. Among Scot's detractors was James VI of Scotland (later James I of England) who described Scot's opinions as 'damnable' and supposedly ordered the text to be burned upon his accession to the English throne â" although this claim is now disputed. It is certainly the case that the King lambasted Scot in his Daemonologie (1597) as 'an Englishman, who is not ashamed in publike print to denie that ther can be such a thing as Witch-craft'. It is also widely believed that Shakespeare was familiar with this work â" the witches in Macbeth, the mock trial of King Lear, and magical elements in A Midsummer Night's Dream are all thought to derive in part from Scot's writing.

The two items are in good condition, lightly aged. ONE: Manuscript Letter Signed by 'Ulster Scot.' 1p, 8vo. Begins: 'Dear Rev Sir / Glad to see you took up the "cudgels" on behalf of the "Ulster Scot."' The writer of the letter considers that the part played by this group 'in building industry &c.' was surpassed by their efforts 'in cristainising [sic] and civilising the nations of the world'. Descending into sectarianism he continues: 'The Roman Catholic Hierarchy judging from their public speeches would have us believe the very opposite. Like many another Scott I read with delight your article to the "Times" and on behalf of myself and others I return you my sincerest thanks'. TWO: Unsigned Note (1p, 8vo), addressed from '19 Sutton Court Road. / London. Chiswick. W.' Clearly written by Roman Catholic businessman W. Vance Packman, who corresponded from this address at the time. Reads: 'It is a pity that you have failed to point out that all the above were Celtic Catholics in communion with Apostolic See'. Annotated by Hood: 'My answer to this was that I was confining myself to facts.' Laid down at the centre of the page is a newspaper cutting of a letter to The Times from 'REV. J. C. F. HOOD, The Vicarage, Garstang, Lancashire' headed 'Points from Letters / The Ulster Scott'. Begins: 'Your columns lately have dealt with the achievements of Ulster Scots in the sphere of government, law, literature, and science. May I extend the record into the sphere of religion? It is sometimes forgotten that the foundations of civilization in Great Britain were laid to a great extent by men of that breed.'.
