What it is
A Boston merchant's attack on the Salem proceedings and on the ministers who supported them, printed in London because no Boston press would touch it.
Why it lasted
The contemporary refutation that helped end witchcraft prosecutions in New England; Increase Mather had it burned in Harvard Yard.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
