This is not a law book. The cases and trials are of no legal value to the practitioner. They have been selected solely for their human interest. Lawyer and layman will be entertained alike by the cases in the Birmingham Court of Requests, and will read with pity for the victims and astonishment at human credulity the trials of the witches in the second part of the book. Contents: Part I, ''Cases in the Birmingham Court of requests'', taken from Hutton's collection of cases; Part. II, ''Witch trials'', reprinted from The wonders of the invisible world, by Cotton Mather and further account of the trials, by Increase Mather.
