Judge Sewall's Apology: The Salem Witch Trials and the Forming of an American Conscience by Richard Francis

3.0

I was excited for the topic and the idea being presented, but I don't think it lands. There is a focus problem. The book spends too much time on topics that are neither woven into an interesting portrait of Sewall the person nor well explained as connected to his apology. The exegesis of the apology therefore comes across as a stretch.
