1891. The average modern reader on the subject of witchcraft seems only doubtful whether the greatest measure of his scornful pity should be bestowed on the poor silly victims of fantastic delusion or on the grossly superstitious, ignorant and bigoted judges who tortured and killed unfortunate persons little above the grade of idiots on account of their delusions. Judges or prisoners, as described on these lines, would be monsters with whom human nature can no more enter into sympathy than it can with the joy of the snake swallowing a guinea pig.
