Sorry, but this item is no longer available. Please be in touch at info@rarenewspapers.com if you would like to be placed on a want list or are interested in a potential alternate issue.

January 01, 1693
THE ATHENIAN MERCURY, London, 1693  The back page has an advertisement  for the book "A Further Account of the Tryals of the New-England WTICHES..." by Cotton Mather. This is the only periodical that I have ever seen with any reference to the famous witch trials at Salem, Massachusetts. A fascinating and very uncommon item.
A quarto-size single sheet with a few lite damp stains, otherwise in nice condition.
