  SORCERY, n.  The ancient prototype and forerunner of political
  influence.  It was, however, deemed less respectable and sometimes was
  punished by torture and death.  Augustine Nicholas relates that a poor
  peasant who had been accused of sorcery was put to the torture to
  compel a confession.  After enduring a few gentle agonies the
  suffering simpleton admitted his guilt, but naively asked his
  tormentors if it were not possible to be a sorcerer without knowing
  it.
