As the name would indicate, the conclusions of the work resemble in one essential respect the doctrines of Theosophy, but the course of reasoning is entirely free from mysticism and is in full accord with the advanced teaching of both Science and Religion. The author holds that the human personality does not leave the body at death, but that the germ of life persists and in due time reappears in another body. The ultimate perfection of the race will result from the gradual amelioration of the individual members. The working hypothesis of the author is: That the dead rise again by being born again. All who have at times felt the apparent futility of the individual life, will be comforted and uplifted by the brave optimism of this original book.

Entered at the Chicago Post Office as Second-Class Matter The History of the Devil and The Idea of Evil HE HISTORY OF THE DEVIL And the IdeA OF EVIL from the Earliest THE Times to the Present Day. By Dr. Paul Carus. Printed in two colors from large type on fine paper. Bound in cloth, illuminated with cover stamp from Doré. Five hundred 8vo pages, with 311 illustrations in black and tint. Price, $6.00 (30s.). Beginning with prehistoric Devil-worship and the adoration of demon gods and monster divinities, the author surveys the beliefs of the Summero-Accadians, the Persians, the Jews, the Brahmans, the Buddhists, the early Christians, and the Teutonic nations. He then passes to the demonology of the Middle Ages, the Reformation, and modern times, discussing the Inquisition, witchcraft, and the history of the Devil in verse and fable. The philosophical treatment of the subject is comparatively brief, but the salient points are clearly indicated in every connexion. "It is seldom that a more intensely absorbing study of this kind has been made, and it can be safely asserted that the subject has never before been so comprehensively treated.... Neither public nor private libraries can afford to be without this book, for it is a well of informa tion upon a subject fascinating to both students and casual readers."-Chicago Israelite. "As a remarkable and scholarly work, covering a subject not yet exhausted by the scientist and the philosophical historian, this book by Dr. Carus has a peculiar interest for the student, while it has also features of popular interest."—Chicago Record. "The pictorial illustrations of this subject from earliest Egyptian frescoes, from pagan idols, from old black-letter tomes, from quaint early Christian sculpture, down to the model pictures of Doré and Schneider, add greatly to the value of the book."-Methodist Magazine and Review.
