A history of the witches of Renfrewshire, published in Paisley, Scotland, by A. Gardner in 1877, a new edition with an introduction drawing on unpublished records of the Presbytery of Paisley, written for readers interested in local history and witchcraft. Its two pictures are a rotated wood-engraved view of a house labelled Barcraig House, drawn with dense hatched shading and framed by overhanging trees, and a circular heraldic crest with three goblets and a crowned crest above a shield, drawn with fine parallel lines and scrolled foliage that a designer could borrow for seals, badges, or vintage emblems.
