    1. [SALEM-WITCH-L] Legal Documents
    2. I am general editor of a project to reedit legal documents pertaining to the Salem witch trials. A number of newly discovered documents, some of them in printed versions from the nineteenth century have appeared since Boyer and Nissenbaum's Salem Witchcraft Papers. Some of these new ones appear in Richard Trask's 1997 edition of The Devil Hath Been Raised. I am sure there are more out there, some in printed texts, that have simply not surfaced. So this is a general appeal to everybody on the list to please let me know if you run across any such documents in print other than what is found in Boyer and Nissenbaum, Trask, Upham, or Drake. Obviously, if you find it in manuscript--very unlikely--that would even be better. Thanks for any help you can give. Bernard Rosenthal
