“A fascinating tale of witchcraft and skulduggery in darkest Yorkshire in the early 19th century. . . . An extraordinary story, brilliantly told.” —Books Monthly On the morning of March 20, 1809, the woman who had earned herself the title of “The Yorkshire Witch” was hanged at York’s New Drop gallows before an estimated crowd of twenty thousand people—many of them victims of her hoaxes and extortion. A consummate con artist, Mary Bateman was adept at identifying the psychological weaknesses of the desperate and poor who populated the growing industrial metropolis of Leeds. Exploiting their fears and terror of witchcraft, Mary was well placed to rob them of their worldly goods, yet she did much more than cause misery and penury. Though tried and convicted of only one murder, the contemporary belief that she was a serial killer is doubtlessly accurate. A meticulously researched retelling of Mary Bateman’s life and death, and the macabre legacy of her mortal remains, The Yorkshire Witch is also a “wealth of social history . . . about the lives of servants; housing conditions . . . the rise in religious fervour . . . the prevalence of superstitious beliefs . . . accounts of early toxicology; how crimes were prosecuted; the treatment of female convicts; and public executions” (Crime Review).

This special edition of 'Extraordinary Life and Character of Mary Bateman, The Yorkshire Witch' was written by Davies and Company, and first published in 1811, making it well over 200 years old. Although the quality of the text rendering in this book is not up to the usual standard that we would publish and is a little hard to read at times, this is a very important antiquarian text. It should be noted that the text features the Old English style of "s" which looks like a tall "f" and can make reading a tad confusing at times! It was written just two years after the execution of Mary Bateman, and as such is an absolute essential addition to the libraries of all who are interested in The Yorkshire Witch story. This super-short, fast read, is a rare old find, and will be a welcome addition to your collection of Occult and Witchcraft book collection and is a must read for all researchers and enthusiasts of the Black Arts, and those with a penchant for old murder cases.

The methodology and conclusions of this book have impacted not only on witchcraft studies but the entire approach to social and cultural history with its quantitative and anthropological approach. The book provides an important case study on Essex as well as drawing comparisons with other regions of early modern England.
