Book Description

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. IMPORTANT NOTE - Please read BEFORE buying! THIS BOOK IS A REPRINT. IT IS NOT AN ORIGINAL COPY. This book is a reprint edition and is a perfect facsimile of the original book. It is not set in a modern typeface and has not been digitally enhanced. As a result, some characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections, blurring, or minor shadows in the page background. This book appears exactly as it did when it was first printed. At 'Black Books' we do not use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to transcribe books from scanned images or other forms of text - this usually results in everything from strange characters to gibberish. We believe that reading an old book, exactly as it was, is the most satisfying way to read it.
