The History of Witchcraft in England 1558-1715 by Wallace Notestein is a Piranesi Press Historical Reprint. This is an abridged version of the original 1911 book removing the mundane 732 academic footnotes and forty some pages of appendices so the narrative is clear and easy to read. The unabridged version is also available but is twice the page volume and a bit more costly to produce, therefore the difference in price.
