Many of the sketches found in this book were brought from distant countries, some aglow with a richness which time has not dimmed, while others are dull and colorless. Devils may be elevated before the eye not only as a luminous lesson to mankind, but as the instigators of evil, to be trodden underfoot. Contents: devils; names of devils; marshaling of devils; Christian devils; origin of the devil; hell; devil in art; legends; proverbs; exorcism. Illustrated.
