{"product_id":"a-historical-account-of-the-charles-kirkpatrick-sharpe-9781849210645","title":"A Historical Account of the Belief in Witchcraft in Scotland","description":"First published in this format in 1884, this early chronological account forms a complete overview of the history of witchcraft, \"wizardry, and spectral appearances\" in Scotland before 1724. An Editorial note introduces the author, Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe (1781-1851), and explains how this present volume was originally written as an introductory chapter to Sharpe's 1819 edition of \"Memorialls; or the Memorable Things that fell out within the Island of Brittain from 1638 to 1684 by the Rev. Mr. Robert Law.\" but came to be regarded as a work which was more important in its own right. A Biographical Sketch of the 'polished and aristocratic', 'capricious and eccentric' author follows, with a good description of the scope of Sharpe's correspondence, literary labours, etchings and collections. The historical account itself is presented in twelve chapters, with an Appendix, the editor's own compilation of a 'Short List of Books on Scottish Witchcraft and Superstition' and an Index.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849210640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849210645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kennedy \u0026amp; Boyd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.61d","brand":"Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445812867327,"sku":"9781849210645","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b0fb466-912a-4172-9c34-5818e09fd754.jpg?v=1777220819","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-historical-account-of-the-charles-kirkpatrick-sharpe-9781849210645","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
