The book "The Pendulum of the Bear Court in New England: Its Origin, Development and Conclusion (Volume 3 of 3)" consists of essays, pamphlets, letters and other publications by two prominent figures of the 17th century - Robert Calef and Cotton Mather. This book is an invaluable documentary source on the problem of witchcraft in New England and reveals all the intricacies and circumstances of the time. The authors examine in detail the events that led to the mass hysteria, describe the trials, and carefully analyze the testimony and evidence used in the trials. Their first-hand reports became an important source for further study of the subject. The book helps to better understand the socio-cultural context of the time and the impact that the "bear pendulum" had on New England society.
