Chapter VII: The Witch in Dramatic Literature (3)

(The works of Henry Charles Lea, lengthy and laborious as they
are, must be used with the utmost caution and need continually
to be corrected. They are insecure, and bitterly biased, since
even when facts are not widely distorted a wrong interpretation
is inevitably placed upon them. Their value and merit can but
be regarded as fundamentally shaken. The following criticism
will be found useful: Paul Maria Baumgarten: _Die Werke von
Henry Charles Lea und verwandte Bücher_, 1908. Eng. tr.: _H. C.
Lea’s Historical Writings: A critical inquiry into their method
and merit_. 1909.)
