treated of in these pages: an ideal of the Devil has
existed, and still exists, and the only object is to
trace the origin and evolution of that ideal.

Amongst the numerous works from which I have
drawn materials for the pedigree, I would mention
those of Mr. E. B. Tylor, Mr. Moncure Conway, M.
François Lenormant, and the late Mr. Keightley, all
of which have been of great assistance to me. I
have endeavoured as far as possible to acknowledge
in foot-notes the authorities from which I have
drawn; where I may not have done this, I still
would express my indebtedness to those authors
whose works I have used.
