The Devil in Britain and America

The devil as the English and Americans have pictured him - the compacts, the witch trials, the possessions and the appearances in court records. Ashton quotes the documents and lets the century convict itself. This edition is bound with a gallery of 21 plates after painters including Jeremiah Davison, Coenraet Roepel and Gerard de Lairesse, and 39 illustrations restored and coloured for this volume.
