Salem witch trials: "Judge Sewall's Apology" 5th of 5

Sewall has become acutely sensitive to injustice, and continues to take a public stance. He campaigns to ban slavery, and then a rather more idiosyncratic cause: against the wearing of wigs. Richard Francis's biography, "Judge Sewall's Apology", is read by actor Richard Mitchley. In its UK edition, the book's subtitle is "The Salem Witch Trials and the Forming of a Conscience"; in the US edition that conscience is entitled "an American Conscience".
