The History of the Supernatural in All Ages and Nations, and in All Churches Christian and Pagan Demonstrating a Universal Faith Part Two

About this book

AS the belief in the supernatural, or spiritualism, has, from the earliest ages, had a constant tendency to degenerate into magic, because human nature has that downward bias, it is very desirable to have a clear notion of what magic is, that we may the more sacredly guard the great gift of spiritual life, which, more or less, is conferred on us, from everything but its own holy uses and objects.
