| Description Of Item | Clipped article from the British Medical Journal in response to a previous article on ‘A Harveian tercentenary’ and the article detailed in DEP/RIJ/8/43 in a scrapbook from the collection of John Ritchie relating to William Harvey’s investigation of a ‘witch’s familiar’ by dissection in his involvement into the Pendle witch trials. The article discusses Dr. Letitia Fairfield’s letter to the Times in response to Dr George Henry Alexander Clowes’ letter as seen in DEP/RIJ/8/43, the former of which quotes an account of another of Harvey’s investigation into sorcery as told in a letter quoted in Professor Wallace Notestein’s book, A History of Witchcraft in England. |
