Chapter Xii. The Passing Of Doctor Bataille : * "Devil Worship in France", by A.E. Waite, [1896], p. 233 CHAPTER XII THE PASSING OF DOCTOR BATAILLE THE most obvious line of criticism in connection with the memoirs entitled "Le Diable au XIXe Sicle" would be the preposterous and impossible nature of its supernatural narratives.

Chapter Viii. Dealings With Diana : * "Devil Worship in France", by A.E. Waite, [1896], p. 162 CHAPTER VIII DEALINGS WITH DIANA THE philosophy of Horatius is supposed to represent incompletely the content of heaven and earth, but neither earth nor heaven, as at present constituted, would be capable of enclosing the entire content...

Waite, [1896], p. 290 CHAPTER XIV THE RADIX OF MODERN DIABOLISM WE have finished with the witnesses of Lucifer, and I think that the search-light of a drastic criticism has left them in considerable disarray.

Chapter Iv. Ex Ore Leonis : * "Devil Worship in France", by A.E. Waite, [1896], p. 53 CHAPTER IV EX ORE LEONIS FOR over ten years past Leo Taxil, that is to say, M. Gabriel Jogand-Pages, has been the great accuser of Masonry, and he possesses an indistinct reputation in England as a man whose hostility is formidable, having...
