Witchcraft Detected and Prevented: The School of the Black Art

"Witchcraft Detected and Prevented" is not really so much a protective guide for hunting down or opposing witches, as it is a grimoire of sorts from the early 1800s. Similar to (and taking some content from) the Petit Albert or some similar tradition, it also includes material from apparent folk rites as well as from the writings of Albertus Magnus. Covering topics as wide ranging as alchemy, herbal medicine, folk magic, and protective prayers and incantations, its title can only be considered an attempt to elude censorship or claims of blasphemy.
