"Those who take an interest in pedigrees to the extent of wishing to obtain information even
concerning that of his Satanic Majesty, will find this learned work, to say the least of it, entertaining.
Sincerely religious people will find nothing to offend them in this able work. It may be safely said
of this work upon the Evil One's pedigree that it is one of the clearest yet made out for his benefit,
and that it amusingly traces his peregrinations through many strange lands and vicissitudes."-
Morning Post.
"The general scope of the book is to show that everywhere the Devil has been a deposed or
degraded god-a corruption of a primary idea of purity. This is very forcibly brought out in the
chapter on "Fire," which is one of the best in the book.
His information is varied and
extensive. Mr. Hall's illustrations deserve a word of notice. They are of a weird and mystic kind,
reminding one of Blake."-Standard.
"Those who are willing to study the pedigree of the Devil may safely be recommended to the present work. Mr. Hall has certainly succeeded in putting together in a compact and readable form a large amount of information gathered from various sources, and has shown judgment and skill in the use he makes of his materials."-Scotsman.
