Publisher's Synopsis
The Fair Puritan is an historical romance novel set during the infamous Salem Witch Trials in the late 17th century. Written by Henry William Herbert, the book follows the story of a young woman named Dorothy, a devout Puritan who finds herself caught up in the hysteria and accusations of witchcraft that have overtaken the town of Salem. Despite her innocence, Dorothy is accused of practicing dark magic and is forced to stand trial before a court of judges who are determined to find her guilty. Along the way, she meets a young man named Richard, who becomes her ally and helps her to uncover the truth behind the accusations. As the two of them work together to clear Dorothy's name, they also develop a deep and passionate love for each other. The Fair Puritan is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the struggle for justice in a time of fear and uncertainty. Herbert's vivid descriptions of life in colonial America and his exploration of the themes of faith, morality, and human nature make this book a compelling read for anyone interested in history, romance, or suspense.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
