Excerpt from Demonology and Witchcraft: With Especial Reference to Modern "Spiritualism," So-Called, and the "Doctrines of Demons"
A few words as to the origin of this Work. In April, 1886, a young friend, who had been in the habit of attending my "Bible Readings," at the Y.M.C.A., in Aldersgate Street, London, asked me to see a former school-fellow of his, who had become a "Spiritualist." After an interview, which I pointed out to him the awful sin which he was committing, in thus consulting demons; he sent me a book, entitled, "Spirit Teachings," (which is referred to in the after of this Work, ) accompanied by a letter; in which he said, he hoped that I "should be instructed and enlightened by it; as he himself had been: " for "to relapse into a belief in the doctrines of Christianity, and the scheme of redemption" - which in a subsequent letter, he scrupled not to characterize as "a gigantic imposture" - "would make him thoroughly unhappy"!!
