		Samuel Sewall was born in England and settled with his family in Newbury, Massachusetts in 1661.
		If Sewall was only known today for the diary that he kept for more than fifty years, he would be a notable figure in early American history, but he is perhaps best remembered for his role as a judge in the infamous Salem witch trials of 1692.
		Although the trials could have tarnished his reputation forever, his legacy was redeemed by his public confession of guilt in the witchcraft tragedy, and his firm antislavery stand bolstered by the publication of The Selling of Joseph in 1700.

		Spanning five decades and straddling the turn of the eighteenth century, Sewall’s diary is a rich historical source; Mel Yazawa’s edition of the diary, presenting yearlong excerpts at decade intervals, allows students to track both continuity and change in Puritan New England.
		Sewall’s diary may also spark discussion of how the historian uses source materials.
		Students can be asked how their views of Sewall would be modified if he were presented chiefly as a "witchcraft judge" or, by contrast, as an "antislavery advocate." This last exercise can help clarify that, in the attempt to derive meaning from the past, careful contextualization can lift historical biography beyond the level of caricature.
