Tres frailes, dice una leyenda, se escondieron cerca de las orgías del sábado de brujas para poder contar los demonios; pero el jefe de éstos, descubriendo a los frailes, dijo: 'Reverendos hermanos, nuestro ejército es tal que si todos los Alpes, sus rocas y glaciares, estuvieran divididos por igual entre nosotros, ninguno tendría el peso de una libra'. Esto fue en un valle alpino. Cualquiera que haya vislumbrado la Noche de Walpurgis del mundo, como se revela en Mythology and Folklore, debe estar de acuerdo en que este cortés diablo no exageró el caso. Cualquier intento de catalogar los espectros malignos que han perseguido a la humanidad sería como tratar de contar las sombras que el sol naciente arroja sobre la tierra. Esta convicción ha crecido en el autor de este trabajo en cada paso de sus estudios sobre el tema. En 1859 aporté, como uno de los 'Tracts for the Times' estadounidenses, un folleto titulado 'La historia natural del diablo'. Probablemente el principal valor de ese ensayo fue para mí, y esto en que su preparación me había revelado cuán lleno de interés e importancia estaba el tema seleccionado. Investigaciones posteriores en la misma dirección, después de haber venido a residir en Europa, revelaron cuán débil había sido mi concepción de la inmensidad del dominio sobre el cual se hizo esa primera aventura. En 1872, mientras preparaba una serie de conferencias para la Royal Institution on Demonology, me pareció que lo mejor que podía hacer era imprimir esas conferencias con algunas notas y adiciones; pero después de que fueron entregados, todavía me quedaba sin usar la mayor parte de los materiales recolectados en muchos países. La fábula del intento de Thor de beber un pequeño manantial, y su fracaso porque fue alimentado por el océano, parece estar dirigida a esfuerzos como el mío. Pero hay otro aspecto del caso que me ha dado más ánimo. Estos huéspedes fantasmas, aunque inmanejables en cuanto a número, cuando se examinan de cerca, presentan comparativamente pocos tipos; se unen por cientos; de estar abrumado al principio por su multiplicidad, el clasificador se encuentra finalmente hurgando en los arbustos para comenzar una nueva variedad. En torno a una sola forma -la fisonomía, puede ser, del Hambre o de la Enfermedad, de la Lujuria o de la Crueldad-, la imaginación ignorante ha fragmentado la naturaleza en innumerables fragmentos que, como espejos de diversas superficies, la reflejan en infinitos tamaños y distorsiones; pero se desvanecen si se retira ese hecho central. Al tratar de conquistar, por así decirlo, estos monstruos imaginarios, a veces se pululaban y farfullaban a mi alrededor en una loca comedia que disfrazaba su trágico dominio sobre aquellos que creían en su realidad. Las gárgolas extendían su sonrisa sobre la mejor arquitectura, las cornisas se enroscaban en serpientes, las mismas palabras de los oradores salían de su sentido convencional y se convertían en imágenes que atraían mi atención. Mis esfinges fueron colocadas sólo cuando se dieron las soluciones que yo creía correctas a sus problemas; pero a través de esta experiencia psicológica parecía que cuando uno estaba así puesto, su legión también desaparecía. Hace mucho que esos fantasmas dejaron de acosar mis nervios, porque descubrí su irrealidad; Ahora me aventuro a creer que sus formas mitológicas dejan de rondar mis estudios, porque he descubierto su realidad. ¿Por qué matar a los muertos? Tal puede ser la pregunta que surgirá en la mente de muchos que vean este libro.

1879. Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 0766165981. Volume 1 of 2. The natural world is overlaid by an unnatural religion, breeding bitterness around simplest thoughts, obstructions to science, estrangements not more reasonable than if they resulted from varying notions of lunar figures, all derived from the Devil-bequeathed dogma that certain beliefs and disbeliefs are of infernal instigation. Dogmas molded in a fossil demonology make the foundation of institutions which divert wealth, learning, enterprise, to fictitious ends. It was not, therefore, mere intellectual curiosity which kept Mr. Conway working at this subject for many years, but an increasing conviction that the sequelae of such superstitions were exercising a formidable influence. If everyone busied himself with the Devil as Mr. Conway did, the kingdom of God would gain by it. It was with this sentiment in mind that Mr. Conway presents this work to the public. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read.

The Writings of Thomas Paine: The Age of Reason by Thomas Paine. The Age of Reason; Being an Investigation of True and Fabulous Theology is a work by English and American political activist Thomas Paine, arguing for the philosophical position of Deism. It follows in the tradition of eighteenth-century British deism, and challenges institutionalized religion and the legitimacy of the Bible. It was published in three parts in 1794, 1795, and 1807. IN the opening year, 1793, when revolutionary France had beheaded its king, the wrath turned next upon the King of kings, by whose grace every tyrant claimed to reign. But eventualities had brought among them a great English and American heart-Thomas Paine. He had pleaded for Louis Caper-"Kill the king but spare the man." Now he pleaded, -"Disbelieve in the King of kings, but do not confuse with that idol the Father of Mankind!". In Paine's Preface to the Second Part of "The Age of Reason" he describes himself as writing the First Part near the close of the year 1793. "I had not finished it more than six hours, in the state it has since appeared, before a guard came about three in the morning, with an order signed by the two Committees of Public Safety and Surety General, for putting me in arrestation."
