THE LANCASHIRE WITCHES.
A Romance of Pendle Forest.


By
William Harrison Ainsworth, Esq.


_Sir Jeffery_.--Is there a justice in Lancashire has so much
skill in witches as I have? Nay, I'll speak a proud word; you
shall turn me loose against any Witch-finder in Europe. I'd
make an ass of Hopkins if he were alive.--SHADWELL.
