• 51 annotations, including translations of all of Sewall’s Latin phrasesSamuel Sewall (1652–1730), a Massachusetts jurist who repented of his role in the Salem witch trials, published "The Selling of Joseph: A Memorial" in 1700. This classic anti-slavery text attracted new interest when it was republished in the June 1864 issue of Historical Magazine.Reprinted here is the text as it appeared in Historical Magazine, along with the introductory and concluding material that surrounded the text. The magazine’s editor, like Sewall, assumed that his audience had a reading knowledge of Latin, and among the annotations here are translations of the Latin sentences and phrases interspersed in Sewall’s text. - from Amzon
