- The last English witchcraft trial. Bragge's two pamphlets argued for the reality of witchcraft and for the prosecution, for which he testified as a witness. Though the jury found Wenham guilty, the presiding judge obtained a reprieve and eventually a pardon from the Queen. She was befriended by a local gentleman who gave her a little cottage where she lived peacefully until her death in 1730. Her principal accuser, the servant girl Anne Thorne showed classically hysteric signs: she was disturbed by fits; troubled with visions of devils in the shape of cats; and vomited pins. "A doctor ordered her to wash her face twice a day and to be watched by a 'lusty young fellow' during her convalescence. The young man proved an effective cure for Anne's hysterics, and the two were happily married." [Robbins 1959 p. 537].
- It all began when Wenham brought a case of defamation against a farmer for publicly calling her "a Witch and a bitch." The case was referred to the local rector John Gardiner for settlement. Gardiner suggested that Jane should learn to live "in peace" with her neighbors and awarded her the sum of one shilling for damages. Not satisfied, Wenham said that she would seek justice elsewhere. When the rector's maid began exhibiting strange behavior and the farmer's helper also began to act in a bizarre manner, the neighbors and other locals began to accuse Wenham of having bewitched them, which led to her trial for witchcraft. The jury found her guilty and she was sentenced to death.
- Together here are most of the important pamphlets elicited by the controversial trial — two by Bragge in favor of the verdict (and the reality of witchcraft) and two against. Though this was the last witchcraft trial in England, the statute itself was not removed from the books until 1736.

19th century American spiritualist and one of the founders of modern spiritualism, Davis began his spiritualist career in 1844, when in a semitrance he wandered away and awoke the next morning 40 miles from home in the mountains, where he claimed to have met two men that he later identified as Galen and Swedenborg. He began teaching and on a professional tour met a Dr. Lyon (a Bridgeport musician) and Rev. William Fishbough. Lyon was appointed his magnetizer and Fishbough his scribe. With their assistance Davis dictated The Principles of Nature, which was published in 1847 and went into many editions. In it he predicted the coming of the Spiritualist movement, which his book probably helped to bring into being as well as shaping the climate of popular opinion that made the emergence of Spiritualism possible, or even likely. His book, which articulated a radically dualist, Swedenborgesque mystical philosophy, made him famous. By early 1848 he no longer needed his magnetizer, since he was then able to self-induce his trance states, in which he made his predictions and medical diagnoses. He remembered his trance experiences and wrote his many books based on his trance experiences. The later books are largely elaborations on the themes of Harmonial philosophy announced in The Principles of Nature and systematically elaborated in the volumes of The Great Harmonia, which alone passed through 40 editions. See Melton's Encyclopedia of Occultism & Parapsychology, 4th ed., I: 301-302.In the present book, a follow-up to the fourth volume of Davis's Great Harmonia (which dealt with marriage and "the physiological vices and virtues"), Davis founds his mystical philosophy on a fundamental binary opposition, which he calls "male" and "female," with the former being the source of the material world and the latter of the spiritual. Davis posits a series of such related binary dyads: Feminine/Masculine; Matter/Energy; Goodness/Truth; Love/Intellect, which play out at every level from the cosmic to the human. Sex then, for Davis, is a cosmic principle for unifying opposites. The bulk of his text is devoted to working out the consequences of his metaphysical theory of Harmony for married partners and for society in general. Conjugal love turns out to be the foundation of society, with incorrect unions resulting in disease, crime, and death. Davis is, so far as I know, never regarded as a philosopher; yet he articulated a comprehensive, radically dualist, American metaphysics that was probably read by and influenced more 19th century Americans than all the academic treatises of philosophy combined.
