Bibliographical notes on the witchcraft literature of Scotland

John Ferguson’s book is a scholarly bibliographic guide to Scottish writings on witchcraft, listing and describing important texts rather than retelling the trials themselves. Its value lies in documenting the surviving literature and providing researchers with references, publication details, and notes on rare or significant works.

John Ferguson (1837–1916) was a Scottish bibliographer and pharmacist whose major scholarly achievement was his bibliography of alchemical and chemical literature. His painstaking cataloguing made him an important reference figure for the history of alchemy and related esoteric traditions.
