Eliza Buckminster Lee wrote a book titled Delusion: Or The Witch of New England in 1839. The narrative centres on the life of a young woman named Mary Schweidler and is set in early 17th-century New England. The people of Coserow suspect Mary of being a witch, and as a result, she faces persecution and torment. The real-life witch trials that occurred in Salem, Massachusetts in the late 17th century are fictionalised in the book. Mary, a courageous and strong woman who is driven to establish her innocence, tells the tale. Superstition, mob power, and religious extremism are among the issues that are explored in the book. It also emphasises the value of justice as well as the perils of prejudice and hysteria. A compelling and thought-provoking book, Delusion: Or The Witch of New England provides an intriguing look at the background of witchcraft and the American witch trials. This rare antiquarian book is a facsimile replica of the ancient original and can include some marks and annotations from the library.

The Witchcraft Delusion in New England in three volumes is a book relating the Salem witch trials of 1692-1693. It presents the compilation of works on the subject by Cotton Mather, a Puritan minister involved in trials and Robert Calef who opposed Mather. After the trials Mather published the book Wonders of the Invisible World which contained a few of Mather's sermons, the conditions of the colony and a description of witch trials in Europe. He argued that since there are witches and devils, there are "immortal souls." He also claimed that witches appear spectrally as themselves. Calef's response was the book More Wonders of the Invisible World in which he denounced Mather's preaches. The Witchcraft Delusion in New England contains both of those works with the analysis and additional materials which provide a detailed look on the subject of witchcraft.
