Excerpt from Rev. David Devine, D.D. And the Devil Or, the Devil in His Own Defence IN this age, When the supernatural is again stepping to the front, and men can once more converse With the departed, and the Devil, for a surprise, does reveal him self to a chosen or special few for purposes direct, as he did two and three thousand years ago, it is not strange that spirits, ghosts, or sprights should be seen and talked With. There are too many facts on record - well anthem ticated facts - to den y that the souls of the departed do manifest themselves to some, and that the Devil in his peculiar protean shapes does pay visits to mortals to impress them as to his presence and influence. Spirits do manifest themselves to the living. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
