THE ATHENIAN MERCURY, London, January 17, 1692
* Rare Salem witch trials advertisement
The back page has an ad concerning the Salem witch trials, which only rarely was mentioned in any form in period newspapers. Never have I seen a news account, as book advertisements of the period have been the only reference I have seen. The ad reads: "The Tryals of several WITCHES, lately Executed in New-England, with many remarkable Curiosities therein Occurring, By Cotton Mather. Published by the Special Command of his Excellency the Governour of New-England. First printed in Boston, and now Reprinted in London for John Dunton at the Raven in the Poultrey."
A rare and unique item relating to perhaps the most notable event in 17th century American history. This is the only periodical that we have ever seen with any period reference to the famous witch trials at Salem, Massachusetts.
Very rare as such. A single sheet measuring about 12 1/4 by 7 1/2 inches, light damp staining
